DRAGON DREAMING TRAINING COURSE

Youth Leader Training

Between the 13th and 22nd of March of 2024, 29 youth workers from France, Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Serbia and Spain came together in Sunny Hill in Slovenia, all of them knowing very little about Dragon Dreaming methodology, but feeling a strong call to join the course organized by Zavod Veles,

Through the experience of learning how to build sustainable projects from the ground up while there are inner and outer dragons flying around, participants discovered many wisdom which values overcame the training course itself.

Thanks to beyond passionate trainers Petra and Jošt and their inspiring teamwork and ability to stay present and hear the needs of the group, people went home enriched, having huge gifts in their pockets: understanding the concept of circular vs linear time, the importance of never compromising your dreams while building a collective one, necessity of putting equal energy and resources in celebration and doing phase of the project, as well as the dreaming and planning.

As the Dragon Dreaming methodology itself, these 8 days participants spend dreaming, planning, doing and celebrating. They were dreaming in the dreaming circle, learning how to plan and develop projects that emerged from the collective dreams, testing if the group was ready for the doing phase and always celebrating, no matter what. Celebrating every day: through silence, reflections, songs, dance, welcoming Equinox…

At the end, what we learned?

1. We learned that Dragon Dreaming is using a holistic approach, taking into account earth, personal and societal growth.
2. That setting the budget with Dragon Dreaming methodology is amazingly fun and super accurate.
3. That magic happens when you commit!
4. Power of generative questions, pina kari and trust in the process.
5. That Jošt can fly.
6. The group intelligence will always find the answer.

Let the seed that has germinated grow and create projects that are ethical for the individual, society and the Earth.
