Abundance 4 ALL
​
1. Applied Sciences Projects ~ From 2012-2024, we worked on area redesigns. Autonomous systems. We advise governments, value-driven companies, AI-teams, and persons about dynamics, simple complexity, edible landscapes, technologies, safety, abundant drinking water, and economic growth.
2. Futures Design ~ Soul in Sciences. Not labs but spatial relations outdoors in climate. Adaptation to local ecosystems and local cultures.
​
3. Writing ~ Inspirational storytelling. We have 100,000+ online followers
4. Events - We sometimes host events in Greece. Meaningful Life. Living Systems. Biology of Mind. Beyond Bias. In Astros (star) in Thyrea (gateway) at the Mediterranean Sea.
5. Stay Longer in Greece ~ We are aligned with a Greek team of small entrepreneurs in Peloponnese. We offer affordable accommodation in the off-season. 10 days pay for a whole month stay. Contact Peloponnese Living.

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. We combine Soul in Sciences outdoors. Not labs. Desiree is a systemic designer of healthy areas, Blue Zones with Dynamic Design, AI, AR, blockchains, and more. Always Living Systems. Not quantum mechanics, quantum physics. With economics, nature's math and technology. Sciences. Living Systems. Mike is the pioneer of 80 ha of self-sustaining life on abundant farms.
​
We are journalists, designers in big wonder about the world, our planet and our human species in evolution. Design, simple wisdom, and technology is the future and in our books we show you healthy design technologies for a purpose. We teach spatial relations thinking and training your senses. We go from Anthropocene back to Syntropocene (synergy, synthesis) because before the nuclear bomb, we were an atoma. A blueprint. Greek language is science language and gives many clues about autonomous, independent systems with free will and personal growth. Auto kinito is a vehicle. And with the right way of thinking, you will easily design the person, vehicle, and road (infra) away from microplastics pollution and road accidents.
​
With holograms, light stripes and hovercrafts. 4D. Spacetime. Energy over antennas.
​
From 2012-2024, we helped design many projects and innovations. Now, we just write and educate per sector, per topic. Papers and books with the design method TIME | SPACE | PLACE. Some of the underlying sciences is available form this website as a free gift. Enjoy your journey into wander and wonder!
​
Our current two projects are:
​
1. Greece: Peloponnese Living: we do 3 things here - we build a local growth economy by filling the empty time and space (hotel studios off-season) with active members of a peninsula, we help the governor and chamber of commerce, and associations to go beyond pollution to beauty in a tourist economy. And we show how to keep everything cheap by competing with "cooking at home" instead of each other. Desiree is the founder together with Vivian Manolesou. The team is now 20+ Greek small entrepreneurs who do not compete but collaborate.
​
2. The Netherlands: "Bouwen aan het Paradijs". Building Paradise. A team of 50+ local Limburg families rewilded 80 ha of land and build their own off-grid homes. Looping energy back into the system. It's an intergenerational finance concept made by a father and his 2 daughters. Living cheap without bills, time to raise the kids. Food forestry. Ecological intensification. Mike is the pioneer with his nephew Maurice.
​
Feel welcome to join the movement toward healthy autonomous systems.
​
How can YOU get involved?
​
-
Book a 1:1 coaching session for innovations, area redesigns and personal growth. Contact Desiree via desiree [at] driesenaal [dot] nl and you get my calendly for a short meeting and to plan the follow-up.​
-
Come to Greece in the off-season as a solo traveler of bring your groups for education. You can contact info@peloponneseliving.gr for that.
Happy changemaking, dear friends! Our method is simple. TIME | SPACE | PLACE.
Release and the volume will automatically Fill again. Living Systems.
​
Enjoy YOUR Journey! We most certainly do!
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Gaia Theory is the work of 2 professors we align with. James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis. Synergy with tipping points of going faster or slower. Growth or decline. Autopoiesis is the science of cell-biology and informed space. The book of Varela and Maturana (1979) can be downloaded here. Living, cognitive systems.
​
A few examples of our projects:
​
1. Triple Helix government, business, education. 2016-2017 Venlo Regionomics (growth economy, despite shrinking population). 2022-2024 Born Global, international. 2025-Greek Design
​
2. Abundant Local Resources. 2012-2024 Desiree - Farming advisory for healthy soil/water. Business models with multiple income streams. Validating waste. Prevention of waste. Biocircularity. Executive Director Ecosystem Restoration Communities. 2013 Mike pioneer "Building Paradise", food forestry and ecological off-grid building on Dutch land (80 ha, 40 families). A Dutch documentary made.
​​
3. Climate Adaptation - an inventory of the transition success and fail factors across continents, climate zones, and cultures. Floods, earthquake resistant, renewable energy with thermodynamics, abundant resources (phytomining), etc.
​
Desiree was Director of a Regenerative & Biomimicry Academy in the Netherlands. Area redesigns, biobased, bio-inspired. E.g. harbor industrial estates abundant for renewable energy with thermodynamics.
​
Redesign patterns and interconnections.

"There are few persons with the drive and the clarity of Desiree. She goes to the places where her intuition tells her to discover the solutions. She has been a bright light in every corner of the world where we met, studied, and worked. Desiree is a hidden gem in the world of steering business and society toward sustainability. She does what is required, and does it with elegance and efficiency" - Prof. Gunter Pauli, the 'Steve Jobs of Sustainability'.
