3 Foreword: Manual for project users Welcome! You are - or like to become - a PROJECT USER of That means you are interested in Dragon Dreaming and you like to contribute and make use of the web-platform and Dragon Dreaming community by sharing your Dragon Dreaming PROJECTS. If you are beyond that interested to use the page as a TRAINER (to post your trainer profile, events and write in the blog) or EDITOR (to write [local] page content), or to set up your own regional page as a ADMINISTRATOR, check the access: User roles & rights in this document. In case you don't know, we now also have the possibility to create a Trainer Profile even if you haven't yet participated on a TtT. As an active Dragon Dreamer you can create a Trainer Profile with the status "Dragon Dreamer". This manual is supposed to enable you to contribute content to the page. We celebrate you by doing this. Without your contribution, this page would be blank, boring and dead. There is no big team behind this page that produces texts and news. Your work is so important to make this page alive and wise. Celebrate and let s get started. Yours Angel, Cat, Ilona, Josef, Manuela & Mattia

4 Good to know: About history and purpose Since Dragon Dreaming Enthusiasts and Trainers around the globe became aware of the powerful role of Dragon Dreaming for our common future and for each other, they had the strong wish to have a platform to spread Dragon Dreaming virally, to share ideas, inspiration, AHA-moments, learnings, and connect! That is the reason, why some Dragon Dreamers in Berlin started to set up this platform: With a general introduction to Dragon Dreaming, a list of Trainers and Facilitators, a calendar of the next Dragon Dreaming workshops coming up, a pool of Dragon Dreaming projects and a blog. All this is meant to be used by Dragon Dreamers to foster and nourish the worldwide Dragon Dreaming community. As we seek to live Dragon Dreaming, this platform is planned and organized in an empty centered fashion.that means, that there is no head of website, who is responsible for checking the contents etc. It is the whole community, that is enhancing and guarding this platform it is you! So please be aware, that it is in your power to make this platform a great space for information, dreams and sharing.

5 Testserver: let s keep quality high If technology is a Dragon for you, we have some good news: There is a testversion of the entire platform existing. Via our TESTSERVER you can access a copy of the original platform. The testserver provides the original structure and functions of the live-page to play around without damaging anything. So if you feel insecure, go for it. When you feel ready working with the public page on the PRODUCTIONSERVER, bear in mind, that we all together carry the responsibility for content, quality and function. The Admins and Editor team(s) are all volunteering and maybe also not professional in this field. There is no paid service team and no police watching content. So let s share responsibility together. It is you, who should keep an eye on things, and if necessary get in touch with someone, who might be able to support in revising or improving things. Be mindful and take action when you see something strange on the live-page. Access the Testserver here: test.dragondreaming.org User : dragondreaming Password : 7261 Then follow logi-in procedure same as on the regular production server

6 Decentral*central platform 1. structure & language SPAIN GERMANY BRAZIL AUSTRIA many decentral pages, containing own content... CANADA DD for Business...running on one central framework DD for Artists...and are chaordically merged on the international page... The platform has a specially designed decentral*central structure. Every region (can be country, can be networks) can have her own regional-page, can have her own regional-page, i.e. for Germany. At the same time they have all the same basic structure and layout. Also there is an international page, that collects all content from all regions and can be filled with international content, too. Concerning language this means we recommend to write in your local language on your regional page. The projects/trainers/event/blog-content from your regional page will be shown on the international page, too. It will be a littel strange to see content in various languages, but also reflecting our chaordic system :-) When you like to reach an international audience, or your region does not have a own page (yet), you can directly post content on the international page. So technically you can access different regional pages and the international page - this has potential to cause chaos - please support keeping order by being aware of which page you are working on! We recommend working from your regional page, as it will feed into intl. anyway but not the other way around.

19 Feedback, finance and our shared responsibility Thank you for reading this manual carefully and for contributing to the platform. Thank you also for treating kindly any mistakes and intermediate solutions we have so far. This platform version is just one step of a greater dream, to spread Dragon Dreaming virally as community together. And it is one more step towards an Empty Centered Dragon Dreaming Organisation, with the purpose to serve Dragon Dreamers around the world, as a living fractal organism, based on love, trust and agreements, to empower them to do projects following the three core principles of personal growth, community building and service to the earth. We, the current international platform team, are welcoming your feedback via platform@dragondreaming.org. If you feel there are things to be improved, please feel responsible too, to take any action that helps to implement the feedback. For example, if you discover spelling errors, send us the corrected text-version in your feedback. If you feel like there might be a forum missing, where projects can discuss learnings, find out if someone is working on it already, find a group and start working on this dream by using the methods you have learned. Most of the work on this platform and all that's connected with it has been contributed freely, and part of it has been paid for - we managed to fundraise about 20,000 Euros for that purpose in the last two years so far. More investments will be needed for community and organisation purposes. We kindly ask you to remember to give 10% of what you earn through Dragon Dreaming back to any project that serves our core principles. If you like the platform created and if you are grateful for its existence, it would make us very happy if you were to remember your gratefulness when the next fundraising action comes up, which it will, for sure. Though, much more relevant than the next future project is to now ground this one and that we are feeling a common responsibility to bring this platform to live, to nourish it, play with it, share it, enjoy it. - For the Earth -
