We intend to co-create:
Deep Community
‘Communitas’ is the feeling of oneness. We seek to come together as Gaians around our new story.
Collective Healing
‘Catharsis’ is necessary for us to become whole. We will explore the healing of collective trauma and how we transformed this into the birth of a new age.
Ecstatic Consciousness
We feel ‘Ecstasis’ when we meet with open hearts, love and childlike faith that we are here to transform the destructive path of the dystopian story.
Radical Hope
The future should not be predicted but achieved. We are here to architect and reverse engineer positive futures in a non-incremental way.
Unifying Narrative
Our artifact is a response to the crisis of meaning by crafting a new story of a thriving civilization in harmony with all life.
Accommodation
Our collective vision quest takes us from Dubai to the desert, Hatta and back. Prepare for a truly magical adventure of Arabian Dreams and co-creations.
