What I’m Doing Now

(This is a now page, a page for sharing real life, you might like to make one too.)

Updated June 14th, 2024, from my dog minding adventure at a friend’s property in Castlemaine.

I’m designing a course

It’s an introduction to Regenerative Design, for sustainability professionals, students & enthusiasts. Possibly sold on Udemy, or directly through my site. It’s going to use simple language and be well resourced for people that want to dive deeper. By no means is it a course that certifies people to work as a regenerative practitioner - proper initiation is a keystone for this kind of work - but it will be an affordable point of entry.

I started a blog

I fell in love with Castlemaine, visiting the same house I’m minding now. Castlemaine is an artsy, permaculture town - and I am a permie and an artist . I’ve always like slow living, being involved in Town Stuff, chatting to neighbours and the routine of being a local, known within the community. Right now I’m frequiently visiting to consider what a move might look like & starting to think of cooperative home-ownership/living arrangements.

A Substack called Emergent Belonging. It has one post, a poem, and a fine audience of two quality humans.

I write on topics that grow the space between Us. Things like aspects of regenerative design, growing identity, culture & community, pleasure activism & nature partnership.

The next step is to post one, just one, of the tens of essays I have in me.

Crafting, writing, singing or playing Sussuri most days

After I quit my last full-time job, it took months for my creativity to come back. Now I have it back and wouldn’t give it up for the world.
