The days are getting longer, and spring is on the way, which means it's time to plan the garden! If you're looking to do something a little different this year, like establishing some low-maintenance and high-producing permaculture food systems, then check out the Permaculture Design Course at permies.com/link/lftn!

Not only will you learn about earthworks, water harvesting, perennial food systems, and so much more, but you can also bundle this PDC with the Appropriate Technology Course so you can learn about rocket heat, solar cooking and preserving, and other amazing technology that will save you money and effort.

All 177 hours of video from this course can be yours for as little as $65 if you visit permies.com/link/lftn

Y'all know John Bush from our time together in the Unloose the Goose podcast and also the webinars we do with Live Free Academy. But did you know that John has another company that provides organic herbal products?

Brave Botanicals offers top-quality, organic CBD and Kratom products along with other herbal resources.

This month, we are highlighting the kratom, an herbal supplement that comes from the coffee family, minus the caffeine. It grows in Southeast Asia and is traditionally used for medicinal purposes. Its leaves contain compounds that can have psychotropic and it has gained popularity in the Western world for its potential to help with the management of chronic pain, stress, and anxiety, and some people use it to try to overcome addiction to opioids or to reduce the severity of opioid withdrawal symptoms.

If you want to learn more about kratom, head on over to BraveBotanicals.com to learn about its many uses and dig into the different varieties and dosage.

Interested in trying it out? John Bush also offers a free ounce of kratom, plus 50% off your first order through his site, FreeOunceofKratom.com.
