Unlock your creativity, gifts and potential with The Design Web, a flexible, holistic, dynamic framework that empowers you to improve all aspects of your personal and professional lives. Make designing a regular practice to enhance well being and revolutionise your projects. Awaken your inner designer with this easy to use, fun and profoundly effective toolkit.
The Design Web has been tried and tested by thousands of people globally since it was first introduced in Looby’s 2012 classic, People & Permaculture. Expanding on this wisdom and experience, Looby now provides an in-depth guide to designing, from daily small actions to big, radical transformations.
For activists, business leaders, teachers, coaches, parents, young people, and anyone who wants to rise to the challenge of collectively reweaving our cultures to be life-affirming and regenerative.
"Looby Macnamara sheds fresh light on the sensing, feeling and thinking necessary to generate effective and positive change. Her Design Web is a useful template to help us organise that most mysterious and chaotic part of permaculture; the design process."
Dr David Holmgren, Permaculture co-originator on Dja Dja Wurrung Country
"Design Adventures is a valuable resource for designing everything from a garden to a life transition. I look forward to using it in my permaculture courses, and for myself! Looby draws on her own rich experience to provide a gift for all of us."
Starhawk, Author, activist, permaculture designer and teacher
"Design Adventures is an indispensable guide for leading positive change in the world – the micro to the macro, from personal to the political. Looby’s way of describing design is liberating and enticingly accessible, and her wonderful tools help us to unleash our imagination and manifest good things for both people and the planet. A new permaculture classic is born."
Morag Gamble, Founder, Permaculture Education Institute
