What is Vision?
Vision is a valued image of the future that connects to our sense of purpose and draws forth the commitment of our energy
A vision without a task is but a dream
A task without a vision is drudgery
A vision and a task is the hope of the world
—Circa 1730, a church in Sussex, England
We hope you'll find your visit informative and inspiring.
First, a little perspective:
CONTEXT :
Today, when the marketplace is so complex and fractionated, and niche audiences have become more and more the rule, we believe it's important for you to align with a public relations agency that really understands who YOU are, and what your work is all about.
As you’ve probably gathered from our tagline, we focus on promoting products, services, issues, ideas and thought-leadership that are contributing to our collective positive future, in all its aspects, now being created by millions around the world. Some call it global awakening, others the beginning of an era of transformation - the emergence of a Wisdom Culture - a shift from outer to inner. Whatever you call it, it's real.
The Cultural Creatives, the seminal book by Paul Ray, Ph.D., and Sherry Ruth Anderson, Ph.D., based on research sponsored by the Institute of Noetic Sciences and The Fetzer Institute, estimates that 50 million adult Americans resonate with the following emerging new values:
• Spirituality and personal growth
• Holistic healthcare and alternative medicine
• Whole-systems thinking
• Self-esteem and self-empowerment
• Feminine consciousness
• Meaningful work
• Volunteerism
• Reverence for nature, Earth and human's place in the system
• Concern for the world's children
• Environmental protection
• Sustainable living
• Community
• Social healing, reconciliation and conflict resolution
• Growing human interconnections
• Greater tolerance of human diversity
• Participatory democracy
• Compassionate concern for the world's poor
• Global outlook and interests
• Cosmic perspective
If you and your work reflect these perspectives, we'd love to talk with you. In the meantime, please look over our pages ... hopefully you'll get many of your questions answered.
After you've roamed around, if you'd like to discuss the possibility of working together, just click here and we'll get back to you promptly.
Thanks again for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you.
The Visioneering Group operates from the premise that only a new and compelling vision and understanding of reality can transform our relationship with the Earth and all that live upon it.
We believe that the global crises we currently face result from a limited scientifically outdated worldview that still dominates human perception.
We therefore conclude that the rapid and radical changes required of us all at this hinge point in history may in some part be facilitated by a fundamental shift in our system of values and philosophy of life -- made possible by the growing understanding of higher principles basic to both ancient mysticism and modern science.
Our commitment, therefore, is to serve as a bridge and an amplifier for inspired works reflecting a broader perspective and essential insights -- so that they may more readily reach the growing audiences that they were created to inform and empower.
For ultimately, we believe, the key to unlocking our evolutionary potential rests in working together to awaken and encourage every person's unique vision and voice.
The challenge to be heard over the din of the marketplace is daunting. Yet the need to infuse transformative ideas into the lifeblood of our culture at this critical juncture in world history is more urgent now than ever before.
INTRODUCTION
In 1988, The Visioneering Group (TVG) was founded by John Raatz for the express purpose of rapidly introducing wide audiences to innovative concepts and projects from individuals and companies on the leading edge of change -- who share a revolutionary understanding of the underlying sources of and practical solutions to our contemporary crises.
A multi-faceted public relations agency, The Visioneering Group designs and fulfills domestic and international branding, communications and marketing campaigns. Since our inception, we have represented some of the most preeminent figures in new physics, eco-psychology, brain/mind research, visionary business, and spirituality. Our clients include scientists, futurists, environmentalists, psychologists, educators, business leaders, inventors, filmmakers, publishers, authors, artists, mystics, and healers.
Regardless of their particular areas of expertise, Visioneering clients all share in common the ecological perspective that conceives of the universe as one interconnected and interdependent web of life. Through their books, events, presentations, films/videos, music, and other products, each of our clients is dedicated to helping elevate the level of public awareness and discussion so that we may quickly and collectively move human life back into harmonious alignment with the life of the planet.
At The Visioneering Group, we represent only those projects to which we can give our whole-hearted support. Our communications programs and materials are therefore created not merely as superficial announcements or enticements for the media -- but as authentic, well- considered and persuasive endorsements of new and important contributions to the culture. Our aim is to provide both an overview and a distillation of our clients' ideas -- and then to place them within the larger context of the growing dialogue that is helping to shape a new vision of Reality.
We work with both transformational and mainstream markets and are expert at reaching the rapidly expanding "alternative" market that remains virtually untapped by traditional public relations agencies. Our integrated marketing and communications strategies and creative promotional campaigns are designed to help assure the greatest possible circulation for our clients' works -- both in the near term and over time; for we are dedicated to assisting our clients to fulfill their visions and thus to make a meaningful difference in the world.
