Philosophy

Dragon Mindfulness and Nature Connection is about living in harmony with nature in every aspect of our lives. At the very heart of our philosophy is the understanding that we are nature, not just a part of it but a living expression of it. By connecting with this as more than a concept, but as part of our lived experience, we have found that our lives are enriched and our motivation to foster a compassionate and respectful relationship with our environment increases. Living in harmony means listening to nature and to the people most connected with our world.

Mission

Our mission is to help heal relationships with one’s self, other people and the rest of nature. As such, we have provided lots of free content. This venture is not about generating personal financial wealth. In fact, we wish to leave behind the growth-for-growth’s sake paradigm, instead embracing and modelling serving stakeholders through increasing wellbeing. We do have costs in terms of the fees we are charged for the various platforms and in honouring our time and skills.

We ask that content is shared only in the spirit that it is given – for the purposes of enhancing the lives of others (we would ask simply that the content is acknowledged – many hours of work and deep connection have gone into its creation). If you wish to use content within a fee-paying setting, please contact us to discuss. Finally, if you like what we are doing and are in a position to do so, please consider supporting us for as little as £5 using the “Support Us” button. This will help us to cover our costs and, we hope, to enable us to expand our work in helping people and planet.

Our Aims

• To help people and planet by helping more people to experience themselves as more than separate entities but as part of an interconnected, living whole
• To shift from an “expert” perspective to compassionate service – listening to nature and to the people connected with the land, to wisdom keepers and acting accordingly – to hold the torch and open the door rather than speak over or claim a seat which is not ours to take
• To promote and encourage nature connection as a benefit to human welfare and the environment
• To provide nature connection and mindfulness learning experiences
• To provide online learning materials covering mindfulness, conservation and nature connection
• To support and promote access to nature for all but especially underprivileged groups
• To provide a platform to connect champions of eco-centric living within communities
• To facilitate values-driven living and empower individuals, communities and businesses to live and work in harmony with nature
• To support and promote physical and mental wellbeing and to raise awareness
• To include the Earth and future generations as stakeholders in our decision-making processes
