Most
Gaia Projects tend to go through four stages, as shown in this diagram.
All projects start as the dream of a single individual person. By
sharing this dream with others, through a "dreaming circle"
the dream becomes a collective dream of the project team. The next
stage is the process of planning. Many Gaia Projects use the system
of the Karabirrdt, a group process which creates a Gaia Project
as a Critical Path Diagram, which makes delegating tasks and organising
a budget very simple. Each Gaia Project is self funding, although
assistance can be obtained through a Fundraising Workshop. "Doing"
the project then is mapped, as jobs are complete it gets recorded
on the Karabirrdt. The final stage of any Gaia Project is to celebrate
the achievement. Celebration costs are a legitimate project expense.
By the time of completion, the individual's skills and abilities,
and their sense of personal empowerment has been transformed, communities
have been strengthened, and the continued flourishing of life is
better secured.
