Praise for Design Adventures Book
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.
The Design Web is an incredible visionary tool that truly changes lives. Looby Macnamara has brought forth this brilliant offering and made the path visible, inspiring and graceful through the Design Adventures book. I have been working with Design Web since meeting Looby in 2016 and this process has literally transformed my life, the lives of many colleagues, and collaborators, and has changed how I bring my own work to serve in significant and powerfully effective ways. The magic inherent in this important approach can, and will change the world for the better!
Design Adventures is a visionary, inspiring book for our times: nobody else is going to lead us forward to a future we’d be proud to leave behind: it’s down to us now, each of us to embrace our potential and offer ourselves in service to life. And what we need along the way is a beautifully crafted, heart-full, guide that we can dive into and know there is wonder in the heart of permaculture, in the world, in ourselves. We can do this, all of us. And Looby’s book will lead the way.
The Design Web
