Our main areas of focus are:
Creating projects that benefit both society and the environment, with a focus on environmental/ earth-based knowledge, and the spirit of the land and people.
These projects are not just about accessing wisdom, but applying it.
Connecting up existing individuals/communities/organisations who are already working towards a 'Sustainable Dreaming'.
Current Projects
The Sustainable Dreaming network is continually growing! We understand there are many individuals and organisations out there that share our ideals, and we'd like to connect and support each other, so together we can make a lasting difference.
If you would like to be involved in projects, become a supporter or link your own website/ organisation, please email us with info on who and where you are, what you do and relevant web addresses. We will keep you updated via our online mailing-list and help support and promote events/ projects that fit the Sustainable Dreaming ideals!
