Want to listen to more conversations about Permaculture?
Laura joins me as a sort of continuation of the conversation with Erin Axelrod, but focusing on the individual rather than the organization. During our time together Laura shares how we can make a difference by considering where our money sleeps. The ways to guide our finances towards banking and investment so our surplus provides benefits for our local communities. How non-financial capital can create an abundance. Throughout it all, we also remember, that the world we live in, and our lives right now, are in a period of transition so we can be gentle on ourselves and our decisions.

Stepping away from this interview—though I’d love to live in a world where abundance is the rule and there isn’t a need to invest to prepare for the later stages in life or to ask for investment to sustain our projects—as we opened the conversation, I accept we’re in a period of transition to the world we want to live in. As permaculture practitioners creating abundance for ourselves, in this time we can also help others create similar opportunities in their lives by using every form of capital at our disposal and sharing our surplus with others.
But, that’s just my thought. What are yours?
