S1E12 Dan Palmer on Regenerative Livelihoods and Holistic Decision Making

Merry Solsticemas!! In my last episode of the year I am sharing a slow and reflective episode to be enjoyed with a full belly on a long, frosty walk. My guest Dan Palmer is the lead author and "practical design process philosopher" behind the Making Permaculture Stronger project, a mix of blogs and podcasts which I HIGHLY recommend looking into. He has a PhD in Systems Thinking but much prefers chickens, and over the last ~15 years he has set up and co-founded several exciting happenings such as the (now international) Permablitz movement, a hugely successful design & build firm Very Edible Gardens, and the education-focused Holistic Decision Making and Designing For Life projects. We talk about decision making, design and design process, and taking the reflective path of inquiry into what we might be looking for on our path towards a more regenerative livelihoods: a way of living that nourishes the soul, the land and our community, both on a deep and a mundane level.   Want to continue the conversation?

What does it mean to live - and work - in harmony with your ethics, your values and your activism? What can we do to accelerate a culture shift towards a more regenerative paradigm, and...how do we do it whilst paying the bills?! Exploring money and the economy, passion and burnout syndrome, activism and entrepreneurialism, The Regenerative Livelihood Podcast is setting sail and hoping to spark a unique conversation around how we - as activists and seekers of change - can tip the economy in our favour. That's what this channel is all about. Starting with the movements I know about - such as permaculture and co-operatives in Britain - I hope to explore far and wide across the globe and span many different approaches to regenerative design and practice, finding unique and intriguing ways of making a regenerative livelihood at every turn. Join me, it'll be a laugh.
