Hi everyone,
I’ve spent the last few years compiling my work into a comprehensive guide on regenerative systems, and I wanted to share it with the Permies community first.
I have uploaded all 4 of my books to the Internet Archive as a single item. You can read them online or download the PDFs for free.

What’s in the bundle:
1. From Waste to Abundance Vol 1: The Regenerative Household Manual
This is likely the most relevant to this forum. It’s a practical deep-dive into closing loops at the household level, turning "waste" streams into resources and building resilience right where you live.
2. From Waste to Abundance Vol 2: The IBHCC Revolution
This expands the scope to Integrated Biological & Human-Centric Cycles as well as touching on novel still theoretical energy generators. It looks at the wider systems and how we scale these regenerative practices.
3. The Regenerative Governance Model & Community Abundance License
For the "Social Permaculture" crowd, I wasn't satisfied with standard open-source licenses, so I wrote my own. The Community Abundance License (CAL) allows free use for individuals, non-profits, and small-scale organizations, but requires large corporations to pay their fair share. It’s designed to protect the commons while keeping knowledge accessible to the people who need it.
4. The Ocean's Tapestry
This covers "Zone 00", the inner landscape, consciousness, and a modern approach to meditation.
Why I’m sharing this:
I believe that the path to genuine insight and resilience should be open to everyone, free from gatekeeping. These books are my attempt to weave together diverse insights—from agricultural innovation to philosophy—into something useful for the community.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on From Waste to Abundance or the Governance Model in particular.
Enjoy the read!
