7 Ways to Think Differently with Looby MacNamara

Our guest is Looby MacNamara, a permaculture teacher and author who claims "permaculture is more than a way of designing gardens, farms, enterprises, and even events, it is a creative framework for thinking differently"

Recorded back in the spring, we talk to Looby about her reflections on turning 50; sleeping under the stats, connecting to nature, listening and watching animals at night and acknowledging all the different and complex forms of cultures we all participating in.

Looby shares the insights from her book The Seven Ways to Think Differently which are:

* Abundance thinking * Solutions thinking * Systems thinking * Thinking like nature * Cooperative thinking * Thinking for the future * From thought to action

We pull our first tarot cards on the podcast - can you believe we haven't reached for the cards before? And our friend the frog makes his re-appearance!

And finally, Looby share a poem form her book Strands of Infinity - Who Am I?
