Exercise 2: Design from Pattern
Write one paragraph describing the big-picture pattern of your ideal livelihood – its feeling, rhythm, and values – before you choose any specific activity or job title. Ask: what feeling do I want work to give me? What rhythm? What relationship to people, to time, to the land?
Exercise 4: Get your free HUMAN DESIGN chart
When I first heard about Human Design, I loved the idea of it, but it appeared too complex for me to understand. When I looked into it again, I took some time to study it and little by little I started having many A-Ha! moments that made it easier for me to make some important […]
Exercise 5: Create a Shared Experience
Book a visit to a countryside area that excites you – even for a weekend.

End of a Cycle (Video)
We are at the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. In permaculture, design is never finished. You observe, design, implement, evaluate, and observe again.
