Welcome to Dream Seeding, for a Better World!

We hope to be a place where people’s visions of what a more peaceful, compassionate, just, and ecologically healthy world can be found. We want to see and show photos, art, and ideas from people of all ages and backgrounds that show us how compassionate creativity can save our world.

Please contact us if you have something you would like to share with us, as we seek contributions for both dreamseeding.org and our Dream Seeding Art Show in Ann Arbor this February!

Thanks!

¡Adios!

Christopher Bednash, Dream Seeding Lead Organizer

Ganesha blesses as He dances

As we begin, I invite in the deity of Ganesha, who is known by many names & forms and helps us with many things, such as beginnings, overcoming obstacles, critical education, and creative wisdom.  May we all use intelligence, humility and compassion to overcome the obstacles of social dis-empowerment, corporate/imperial economics, and our cultural legacy of violence to transform our societies and communities to become more joyful and spiritually abundant.  As we see that we all really are better off when we all, most especially those least fortunate amongst us, are better off, we can understand that it is generosity that brings true prosperity.  Thank you, Ganesha!

Dream Seeding for a Better World hopes to show art and activism from around the world.  Yet we also hope to consider spiritual dimensions of the transition our world seems to be going through, as well.  This is not try make anyone believe in anything, rather perhaps to help us all to believe in everything.  That is to say that there is meaning, grace, and love to be found in our world.  This isn’t about using fear and judgment to dominate people or about spiritually justifying unjust systems.  Regardless of beliefs or traditions, we need to find the stories, rituals and practices that will help us create a culture where we love ourselves, love all we meet,  and love the Earth herself.  When we gather stories and experiences from a variety of perspectives, we can incorporate even the worst events in our world into a bigger picture that is full of beauty and hope.

More to come!
