From Fairy Tales to Fellowships

But in this kingdom, the grown-ups were often too busy to listen. Their calendars were crowded, their meetings too long, and their ears tuned only to practical things.

Then one day, a group of optimistic dream-weavers gathered. They were mentors, visionaries, and believers in the magic of youth. They said:

“What if there was a place where children’s dreams didn’t vanish, but grew stronger? A place where imagination could be poured into a tank, like water into a well – then drawn out again to fuel the world?”

So they built a vessel – not a ship of metal or steel, but one of imagination, courage, and community. They called it Dream Tank.

Dream Tank was no ordinary vessel. It was fueled by curiosity, steered by compassion, and powered by collaboration. Children and teens were invited aboard, encouraged to bring their boldest dreams, no matter how big or small. Its doors opened wide to every child who dared to dream.

Inside, young people became inventors, changemakers, and heroes. They designed campaigns to spread kindness, blueprints to heal the planet, and stories to inspire hope. And the adults, at last, began to listen. They saw that children’s ideas weren’t just pretend – they were keys to solving real problems. And together, hand in hand, youth and grown – ups began to build a brighter tomorrow.

Yet, to carry these dreams from the realm of story into the world beyond, a guardianship was needed – not of walls or armor, but of spirals. The Spiral Guardianship became the way to protect, nurture, and evolve each idea, ensuring that a child’s dream could grow stronger with every turn, reaching outward in widening circles of possibility. 

And so came the call: Design Our Futures N.O.W.

This became the bridge – through a Network Of the Whole – the guardians, mentors, and pathway that connects fairy tale to fellowship, imagination to innovation, “once upon a time” to “happening today.” Across this bridge, dreamers step boldly, carrying their visions into the real world, where they become projects, movements, and solutions for everyone.

Today, we celebrate this offering: a fellowship where the magic of youth is not only honored but equipped, amplified, and set free. DreamTank is no longer just a story – it is a living bridge, spiraling outward, inviting all of us to walk across and help make the impossible real.

For in this kingdom, the greatest magic of all is not only the boundless imagination of a child – it is what happens when that imagination is believed in, nurtured, protected, and brought to life.

Introducing: 

Design Our Futures N.O.W.
A Youth-Led Global Movement for Planetary Regeneration

Mission Statement
The Power of Love Must Overcome the Love of Power.

And love is not just a feeling,
it is coordinated, consistent actions.

“It’s going to take the miracle of a global village to direct the trajectory of this planet towards regeneration.”
– Ansley Jean Davis

We believe young visionaries are key to catalyzing systemic change, and bringing people together through joyful, strategic action. 

Powered by youth, guided by elders, fueled by love, and grounded in the SDGs,
our mission is to help weave a new planetary narrative.

This movement recognizes that coordinated, consistent actions
rooted in love can transform our world. 

And we believe that we might just be crazy enough to pull it off.

So, Let’s Coordinate Love. Party. Let’s Dance.
Let’s Love One Another.
And Let’s Heal for the Planet and 

Do Good Things for Our Community. 

We’re organizing a “community of communities” that focuses efforts quarterly on key survival topics. By moving in sync, we transform fragmentation into a symphony of regeneration.

The How: Our Intention

It is not a lack of goals (U.N. SDG +) – it’s a lack of fun and coordination. 

Welcome to the Planetary Party Protocol.

Healing, Remembering, Dancing and ~ Partying ~ Our Way to a Healthy Planet.

🌍 Dreamtanking and The Planetary Party Protocol

The Four-Part Annual Design Sprint Cycle

This quarterly alignment allows communities around the globe to act in synchrony, magnifying local impact through global resonance.

This is powered partially through the Spiral Guardianship Dream Tank Fellowship, where young leaders join to lead aspects of our global campaign.
