About the Book

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 Macnamara 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.

Review :
"I use the Design Web in all of my projects and work. Once you discover the Design Web you won't want to be without it." Jon Young, Living Connection 1st and author of Coyote's Guide to Nature Connection "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." Manda Scott, podcaster, author and thrutopian writer "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 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 of Permaculture Education Institute "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 "I congratulate Looby on yet another book to join those she has already contributed to in the permaculture library." Rosemary Morrow, permaculture author and teacher "Wow! What a wonderfully helpful guide for inspiring and supporting any adventure, be it your own personal lifestyle or health journey, a community co-creation, your land design, neighbourhood renewal or a retrofit of our world systems! Looby’s Cultural Emergence framework and use of permaculture design inform this much needed book and her care, compassion, creativity and brilliant design thinking is now available to inspire us all. Enjoy the journey." Robin Clayfield, permaculture elder, social permaculture ‘Grandmother’, bestselling author and creative education facilitator "If you struggle to vision or execute change large or small, then this book, the latest by legend-ary permaculturalist Looby Macnamara, may be for you. It is a kind of handbook for thrutopian design, full of vital and often initially counter-intuitive suggestions, such as the profound importance of pausing if you want to get things done, or the possibility of co-creating the seemingly impossible: if you are able to trust the process." Emeritus Prof. Rupert Read, Editor of Transformative Adaptation and Co-director of the Climate Majority Project
