It's really a shame that I tend to have such a resistance to social media and sharing details of my life publically. Today is thankfully a day I've pushed through that. The magic I'm living is SO worth sharing!

Today is Day 6 of 12 in our Ecovillage Tour and it's going as wonderfully as I could ever hope for.

After months of planning and countless hours of communications with dozens of service providers, the art project is set and the 18 of us on the trip have been more than enjoying the adventure laid out for us.

So far, we've visited Rancho Mastatal and Verdenergia, along with a deeply restorative day at the beach and Las Brisas Resort. Today we head for San Mateo where we'll visit La Ecovilla, Ecovilla San Mateo, Tacotal, and Alegría.

The sense of community forming amidst our tour group, alone, has been a phenomenon worth leaving the house for. I hope you enjoy the photos. If you ever get inspired to join Ecovillage Tours for an eco-adventure of a lifetime, you can use the code RNCR to save a couple hundred dollars off your trip.

When it comes to the concept of change, moving from an old life to a new one can feel like a daunting leap, but it’s often a crucial step for growth.

By looking at life through the permaculture lens, we see that transitions can be moments of immense opportunity.

The process might begin with letting go—whether it's old habits, systems, or even mindsets—but that’s when real transformation takes root 🌱

Just like in regenerative design, change should be approached mindfully.

Sometimes, it requires breaking down what's no longer serving us to make space for something more aligned.

Moving toward a new life is much like shifting from a monoculture to a thriving, resilient ecosystem. It involves cultivating diversity, adopting regenerative practices, and embracing flexibility 🤝

Instead of resisting the unknown, work with nature, and let every new challenge or change shape you into something stronger and more adaptable.

Remember, in every phase of life, transitions provide the fertile ground for something beautiful to grow.

And with the right principles in place, you can design a future that reflects your values and purpose—one step at a time.

Combining digital and creative skills with permaculture opens up a wide range of possibilities for making a positive impact while building a fulfilling career. 🌿

Whether it’s through eco-friendly branding services, creating digital illustrations, or developing online training materials, the digital landscape provides plenty of avenues for those passionate about permaculture.

Offering services like these allows you to support regenerative businesses while promoting sustainable design principles.

For content creators, the power of edu-tainment (YouTube, blogging) can’t be underestimated 🎥

By sharing your knowledge through engaging digital platforms, you can influence others to embrace sustainable practices while building a community.

Additionally, promoting other impact-driven professionals for affiliate commissions is a fantastic way to generate revenue while strengthening the regenerative network.

This approach not only amplifies the impact of your creative work but also aligns with the values of regeneration and sustainability.

Building connections and fostering collaboration in the permaculture space is crucial for growing this movement, and your digital skills are the perfect bridge to make that happen 🤝

Our mission is to help regenerative enterprises channel their focus into areas that make the biggest difference while fostering strong community connections 🤝

Cultural bridging is at the heart of this work, and building authentic relationships requires more than just good intentions. It requires intentional effort and understanding.

When engaging with people who may have lived in a place far longer than you, it’s crucial to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and truly get to know them.

Here’s a method I often use to build those cultural bridges in new communities:

🌿 Step 1: Start with curiosity. When talking with someone from a different background, take note of how it feels when they ask you about your work. Do the same for them—answer simply, and then ask about their life or work. A safe place to exchange of ideas builds trust.

🌿 Step 2: Be genuinely interested in their stories. They likely have local knowledge, history, and connections that could enrich your understanding of the place and its people.

🌿 Step 3: Ask relevant questions. If you prepare in advance, it’ll help you navigate conversations better and keep them engaging. For example, find out who the organic farmers are, where the best local spots are, or which community projects you could help support.

🌿 Step 4: Take their advice and use it. Build trust by appreciating what they offer and learning from their local expertise. This could lead to meaningful introductions, collaborations, or even deeper community involvement.

When we approach new spaces with openness and intention, the relationships we form can deeply enrich both our personal and professional lives.

If language is a barrier, make an effort to learn it! By connecting more deeply, we become more integrated into the community, creating meaningful change in the process.

If you adopt this practice, you’ll see the positive changes it brings to your life and work. 💚

In permaculture, embracing small and slow solutions can be one of the most effective approaches to building long-term sustainability and resilience.

While it may be tempting to rush into large-scale solutions, focusing on smaller steps often allows us to adapt and refine our actions over time. 🌱

Taking things slow offers the advantage of seeing where inefficiencies lie before they become unmanageable.

Whether you’re looking at regenerating land, expanding a business, or even transforming a lawn into a garden, it’s about making meaningful, incremental changes.

Every small choice contributes to creating sustainable systems that last.

One of the core principles behind this approach is what Bill Mollison said: "Make the smallest change for the greatest effect."

Implementing slow, intentional actions gives room for feedback loops to help refine processes and correct mistakes without causing major disruptions.

Practical examples of where this mindset applies might be:

🌿 Building trust in relationships

🏡 Gradually transforming your home or property

💧 Managing water efficiently on land

🌾 Transitioning to local currency or small revenue streams

A lot of people think starting a community means having to buy a big piece of land right away, but that’s not necessarily true.

Some of the most impactful communities I’ve come across started small—with just a few families sharing a vision and coming together to create something meaningful.

You don’t need a large property to build connections. In fact, it’s better to start with a solid foundation of trust, shared values, and a clear vision for the future before even thinking about land size.

The beauty of these smaller, tight-knit communities is that many of them don’t advertise, and you may never know about them because they’ve already established their roots without needing to grow large.

The relationships, trust, and shared goals are what sustain these communities over time.

If you’re thinking about starting your own community, one of the best ways to lay a strong foundation is to meet regularly—whether in person or online—to align your vision and build agreements before taking on bigger decisions like buying land. In these meetings, take the time to share your deeper "Why" for being involved in a project like this. Describe your desired day to day life and be sure that it's realistic and takes into account the tough stuff and the mundane. There's no escaping it and it's good to start with that in mind.

That sense of shared purpose and understanding backed by collectively dreaming in the ordinary is what will carry you through the more challenging stages of establishment.

Regarding land size: If you find a property or project that is perfect in many ways, but you imagine wanting to involve more people and make it bigger, keep in mind that you can start small and expand later. Neighboring properties are often negotiably available once you're a member of the regional community. You don't have to do it all at once.

When it comes to volunteering, there’s a big difference between simply asking for free education and being a quality volunteer who brings real value to a project 💡

In many places, especially on farms or eco-projects, the work needed is highly specialized.

If you’ve got professional skills in areas like natural building, market garden creation, blog writting, administrative organization, social media, video production, or web development, don’t just offer to help—show up with a plan to leave them a lasting gift of your efforts beyond tasks that they need to train you how to do it first. 🌱

Bring your skills to the table as a professional, offer something tangible that they need and will make their project run smoother, and you might find yourself traveling for free. If you don’t have confident skills to offer, you might find some opportunities out there but, if you're able, it’s worth paying for your stay and education. These centers are here to serve, but they also need our support.

There are plenty of projects that can use some help with general land maintanance, but those are costly positions for the center to fill if the volunteer needs to be trained. What many projects really need are individuals who can make their lives better by helping generate revenue or increase visibility. (Interactive childcare is another enticing offer for many projects with kiddos.) If you're looking to create a win-win volunteering position for yourself, this is what you should be looking for.

Be honest about what you can offer, and align your contribution with the project's goals.

At the end of the day, it's about building relationships that are mutually beneficial, not just seeking a free ride 🤝

So, come ready to give as much as you’re eager to learn.
