The Living Lightly Learning Ecosystem brings together books, audio, courses, community, and mentorship to support thoughtful, place-based learning. Each element can stand alone, while also connecting with others for those who wish to explore more deeply.

Learning here is not rushed or linear. It is designed to be returned to, reflected on, and adapted to real life — supporting both personal practice and, for some, a longer pathway into permaculture design.

Self-paced, reflective resources are available from my payhip store.

These form the ground layer of the Living Lightly Learning Ecosystem.

A shared space for questions, reflection, and conversation.
Learning here is relational rather than hierarchical.
Open to all.
👉👉 Join the Living Lightly community (Skool )

👉 Access courses in the Living Lightly classroom (Skool) 

Structured learning using short audio lessons, visuals, and reflective prompts.
Each course stands alone, and together they form the Permaculture Practice series:
how we think, see, connect, decide, act, and design.

The Technical Studios focus on specific areas of applied practice.
They are designed to support those working towards a design project or certification, but may also be accessed independently. 

•Reading Climate & Context
•Water
•Soils
•Mapping & Scale
•Plant Systems
•Animal Systems
•Infrastructure
•Regenerative Economies

For certification, a selection of studios is required. Guidance is offered within the mentorship pathway.

Technical Studios are here

A small, year-long cohort for those who want support over time.
Design is held in relationship, with reflection, dialogue, and real-world context.

Courses, community and mentorship are all hosted together in the Living Lightly Worldwide Skool space, with separate areas for learning and conversation. Access Skool here 

1. Technology as Tool, Not Master
Living Lightly Worldwide uses digital platforms intentionally.
We recognise that platforms such as
Meta Platforms
LinkedIn
Microsoft
Google
are large, energy-intensive infrastructures built on business models that do not always align with permaculture ethics.
We do not romanticise them.
We use them consciously.
Digital tools are treated as infrastructure — like roads or water systems — not as identity or authority.

2. Earth Care
We acknowledge that:
Data storage consumes energy
Streaming and AI use electricity
Online activity has a carbon footprint
We aim to:
Create resources that are durable and worth storing
Avoid producing disposable content
Encourage offline practice and embodied learning
Design once, use often
We prioritise depth over volume.

3. People Care
We do not design for addiction, urgency, or algorithmic manipulation.
You will not find:
False scarcity
Pressure-based marketing
Emotional hooks designed to provoke reaction
You will find:
Slow thinking
Reflection
Practical tools
Conversation over performance
Engagement is welcome.
Addiction is not the goal.

4. Fair Share
Where possible:
Resources are layered (free + paid + mentoring)
Knowledge is not hoarded
Payment supports the continuation of the work
We believe: Education should be valued.
Access should be thoughtful.
Profit should not override purpose.

5. Digital Boundaries
We encourage:
Logging off
Practising what you learn
Observing your own digital patterns
Choosing presence over performance
Living Lightly applies to the digital landscape as much as to land stewardship.

Living Lightly Worldwide exists online —
but it is rooted in real soil, real places, and real relationships.
Technology is the bridge.
Practice is the destination.
