The time for the E-mpulse Festival is approaching! The E-mpulse Festival is a 2-day event bringing together leaders of change from all over the world to exchange innovative social solutions, develop skills, gain access to network and resources to create the impact we dream of in the world.

Speakers number 2: John Croft (Australia) & Lizandra Barbuto (Brazil) of Dragon Dreaming
John, over the last 25 years is the creator and developer of the Dragon Dreaming metamethodology, and has been working in partnership with Lizandra, over the last three years to improve its quality and accelerate the Great Turning around the world, spreading this new win-win-win culture, that truly makes a difference.They have been work partners for the last three years and together they work to create new tools with the vision to open and facilitate the liberation of collective wisdom for the Great Turning, building a new win-win-win culture (a win for all individuals, for our communities and for the Earth that sustains life) to assist the transition from win-lose and lose-lose hierarchical command and control systems that are destructive of the human spirit, our communities and the life support systems on which we depend. One of the major problems within the present world of winners and losers is the wound we carry from our contemporary interactions with Money. Integrating the Dragon Dreaming vision with fundraising, you will leave their workshop with a new way to fundraise and create successful colaborative and collective projects.
Speakers number 3: Bob Stilger (US) in dialogue with Val Rocha (Brasil)
From Fukushima to favela´s ‘how do we prosper with an unknowable future’. What can we learn from Fukushima about what is possible now? Bob Stilger – Founder of NewStories and and works around the world to discover how people are practicing Enspirited Leadership -- and Val Rocha of Instituto Elos Brazil and co-creator of the E-mpulse game will have a dialogue with you around how to dance with the unknown and how to host generative processes in complex contexts. For the last five years most of Bob’s work has been related to Japan’s triple disasters on March 11th 2011 when first an earthquake, then tsunami and finally nuclear explosions wreaked havoc on the northeast coast of Japan. Bob felt an irresistible call to stand with people in communities in the disaster region to help them create the future they wanted, rather than simply waiting for the government to recreate the past. It has been an extraordinary learning ground. Find out more about Bob´s work in Japan here http://www.newstories.org/our-offerings/learning-journeys/
