🎧 Episode 1 – Why We Need Positive, Practical Permaculture

Many of us are carrying a quiet weight. We see what’s happening in the world and wonder what difference we can make. This episode is a gentle, hopeful invitation to come back to what’s real - place, people, food, community, meaning - and to rediscover the power of small, practical acts of care.

Morag Gamble shares how permaculture can move us from reacting to designing, from anxiety to agency, and from isolation to connection. You’ll hear simple, life-centred ways to create pockets of ease, beauty, and regeneration right where you are.

🌿 In this episode:

• Why “positive practical permaculture” matters now more than ever
• The idea of myceliation — how change spreads through small acts of care
• How to begin designing your life, not just coping with it
• What happens when we link personal wellbeing with planetary wellbeing
