Any spots for the bootcamp opening in November?
I just exited my corporate desk/computer job. Over the last couple years I've been thinking of ways to have a more meaningful impactful life and actively do good for the world and people around me.
I was drawn to permaculture / gardening videos by people like Jeff Lawton and others randomly online.
I'm reading Gaia's Garden right now.
The permaculture concepts appeal to me because:
1. Humans were created or evolved to be working with our bodies actively. It's good for us physically and mentally.
2. I need to do something that has meaning and purpose. I would speculate others do too and maybe they don't know it. Maybe they just feel like something is "missing".
3. I'm into eating good food. The first step to making a good dish is getting good ingredients. I've only had food fresh from other people's garden a handful of times and it was amazing.
4. Limit harmful chemicals. I try to buy as good of food as I can in my city but it's covered in plastic... I wonder where all these microplastics are coming from.
5. Simplifying and reducing consumption and "things/stuff" frees you mentally and financially. If you are free from debtors and paying for un-needed "stuff" you are free to do what you want.
6. I like learning and teaching others. I don't know that much now as I'm only just beginning but from what I'm seeing there is so much to learn in this culture which is amazing.
7. Community. I thought about getting land somewhere but then you're out there somewhere by yourself which sounds lonely to me.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. I've been thinking about this stuff for a couple years now and it's been good to see other people here on these forums and some of the podcasts of people that have similar ideas.
Have a good one!!
