In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. - Albert Schweitzer

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” — Marcel Proust


Always hunting for abstract design in nature, hunter/gatherer of natural elegance,

Permie organic gardener, environmentalist, nature lover.

Power to the imagination, was the slogan in Paris 1968, where students stood up to authoritarian, patriarchal rigid, old fashioned thinking, and that movement is still alive!

Our interlocking crises are a deep message, as if the Earth itself is telling us slow learners, to “wake up” to who and what we really are. Breakdown or breakthrough!
Solving the global problematique will take all of us - literally. It will take every person making a difference, and it will take us all discovering that our human potential is not only bigger than we know, it is bigger than we dream in our wildest fantasies. We have skills and abilities that we don’t even know we don’t know. And the Great Turning will
take us all to liberate these potentials. Our journey as a species is far from over, although
the risks of our ecocide are growing daily more deadly. But how are we to liberate such
pure and dazzling creativity? To liberate our potential, and grow our humanity, the world
is setting us a task. Mitigate, adapt or die. We can meet or fail this challenge, but as I said above, to meet it will take all of us, in ways we cannot yet imagine.
The answer is therefore simple. If we can encourage sufficient numbers of ordinary men
and women to undertake many millions of small projects, and ensure that their experience
of these projects is successful, then these people will be enthused and excited to undertake something more, something bigger, and we might just make the added difference needed. But how do we do this?
At every Dragon Dreaming workshop I have run I say that my task as a facilitator is to
unleash the buried and hidden creative energy of the group. Building community is always the second objective of any Gaia Project.
John Croft


“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.”
― Walt Whitman




Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities — the political, the religious, the educational authorities — who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing — forming in our minds — their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself.
