HEALTHY & HAPPY FUTURES - 2012 - 2033 - 2222

“The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function" - F. Scott Fitzgerald, writer

We are Desiree Driesenaar & Mike Harps. After a long career in travel around the world, Blue Economy, nature-based solutions and permaculture, We now focus on ALL environmental and health solutions. Cities. Rural Areas. Prevention. Resets. Building the new. We educate HOW to adapt existing solutions to local climate (Temperate, Arid, and Tropical) and local cultures.

We do high-level professional, systems redesign.

We also give insights for citizens and DIY.

We surf social media and have conversations.

Available for keynote speeches.

Short overview of projects and credibility can be found on Desiree's LinkedIn profile. Blue Economy (coastal areas) advisor to the EU Commission. Consultant for governments. And businesses. Writer of ambitious visions with help in the design of the interconnected projects. 

 

Our Magnum Opus is now happening in Greece, Peloponnese.

Abundance! Gaia's Dialogues can be entered via Substack. Gaia will show us futures, we give you simple recipes how to get there locally in different climate zones and different cultures.

Our online-offline tribes are local, on Medium, on LinkedIn, on Facebook, and on YouTube: 

We built Peloponnese Living, a virtual city of 64,000 members - long stay in Paralio Astros in the off-season possible. It means we have an influence with the governor of Peloponnese. We design our projects for the long term with a simple method:

1. Healthy soil (permaculture, reforestation, microbes, fungi)

2. Freshwater cycles for drinking water

3. Mismatch of jobs in a local area

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Mainly in the Netherlands, Germany, UK, Spain, Greece, and Indonesia. We implemented the theories of health and peace and Blue Zones into local practice.

 

We created many pilots that are scaling. The central term is Nature-Based Solutions.

1. Triple helix - Government + business + education = Venlo Regionomics

2. Abundant opportunities for low-educated  people and people in trouble. Peace in local areas by practising good mediating leadership and gardening. Wolf leadership. Kindness and packs. Hands in the soil and swimming in natural waters keeps you sane and create an abundance of food. Eat what's edible. Grow what's edible. In permaculture rewilding farms - 80 ha in rural Netherlands = Limburg

3. Climate Change is just local extreme weather. So, we need to adapt our knowledge to the big scale and implement. But we also need ALL people on board. So, simple explanations are crucial.

 

3 topics:

  • Blue economy - Design 4 Biodiversity, sea health, modern ship building, coastal development, tourism different than cruise ships (horrible for local economy)

  • Green economy - permaculture, soil biology, freshwater solutions, precision farming, Miyawaki method (urban planting, 10x faster regrowth), systemic biology in microdosing, seed to forest.

  • Governance - laws, unconditional basic incomes with tokenization, AI for wildfire prevention and sea health. AR projects to bring archeology back to life.
