Dream Change

Linked with John Perkins – USA.

Dream Change was founded in the early 1990s to change consciousness. With the new millennium came the realization that a powerful grass-roots movement is necessary to channel the energy from our awakened individual consciousness into actions that create a more compassionate and just world. WOW! (WAKING OUR WORLD!) is that movement.

DREAM CHANGE (DC) is a world wide grass roots movement of people from diverse cultures and backgrounds dedicated to shifting consciousness and promoting sustainable lifestyles for the individual and global community. The objective of inspiring earth-honoring changes in consciousness is accomplished through programs that educate and foster environmental and social balance. DC was originated to encourage new ways of living. (Read more on ‘above‘).
