The First University of the Future -- in Ireland, UK
DragonHeartTM is building a University of the Future in Ireland to be a bridge joining the past with the future. The "building material" of that bridge is our youth!! As in the picture on this website's home page, the Dragon represents the Wisdom Teachers of our ancient past evolving into the Phoenix of the Future.

A Platform for Pioneers
Science has evolved! Every paradigm, every discipline, is entering the quantum field—including medicines and materials. Discoveries of the nano-world sciences and manipulation of the fabric of the world has now become commonplace.
We are building the “New Alchemist University” to accomplish two things:
First, to have a platform for the pioneers of the new science, from the east and the west, to pass on their shift in consciousness before the students become indoctrinated with the assumptions of the past (which are occasionally becoming outdated.) DragonHeartTM Foundation founder, Christopher Seebach, had to discount the science he learned in the past and follow his intuition when it made sense to him. Some physical “laws” were shattered. As Einstein urged us to study Nature deeper and deeper to understand science, Mr. Seebach actually emulated Nature. He discovered that “you can’t see anything in your mind that you cannot accomplish, and the how was in the doing.”
The Ah Ha!
Invention is usually achieved after many months of struggle, then there is the Ah Ha!, which is often followed by six months of downtime. These new students will be taught how to stay in this Ah Ha! mode as long and as often as they wish. Beethoven wrote an entire symphony in one sitting without one correction due to the Ah Ha!.
They Make What They Envision
The second accomplishment is to teach students the skills to make what they envision with any material they wish. Such skills are almost a lost art, save in some remote parts of eastern Europe where the apprenticeship programs are still alive and working. Before one can become an engineer, one has to master the craft of understanding and working with all the materials. Representatives will be brought in to pass along these skills to the students and train new teachers. This skill learning process will be complemented by bringing in [Dr. Hiroki Mashiko, Ph.D. Physics, photo left] the manufacturers of the most advanced, computerized engineering and machining tools to train the students in the classroom and shop to physically build what they visualize with any material. Any R&D lab will tell you that most any university engineering graduates, for the most part, have no practical or hands-on experience. That explains the vast chasm between the intellectual and the craftsman, which has hurt the industry overall. This University will produce highly intelligent, gifted craftsmen who will be sought after by many of the top R&D departments in industry.
The Twin University
It is anticipated that we will build a twin DragonHeartTM University of the Future in the Future City, and send selected third-year students from both universities abroad to their twin University in a semester class exchange. The University structure will be designed to blend in cultural designs of ancient Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia and the Orient. Each structure accommodates class rooms with a large lecture hall and media center at the rear of each building.
Inspiring Facilities
Student activity centers, housing, library, sports facilities, and modern workshops (with the latest computer/laser machining technology) are also in the planning for the DragonHeartTM University of the Future. No expense is spared to provide inspiration and beauty.
Conference/Lecture and Symphony Center
The Conference/Master Lecture Center in the middle has a hydraulic floor that rises to the balcony to form two floors of activity, and for the Future City, it will be designated to act as a community symphony hall and theater for cultural expression.
