@globcoco @freemo Ok just looked him up

robhopkins.net/

If we can get someone like that on board, here, it may really boost us, I suspect a lot of people would prefer the way the fediverse works, given that Totnes tried to block a Costa Coffee from opening, in support of all the small independent shops.

@zleap @freemo
Rob Hopkins is a famous permaculture guy who has helped Totnes in transitioning. Then more and more towns got on board.

Good night.
PS, How am I going to sleep now?
I'm all excited and reenergized now🤩 !

@zleap @freemo
I've heard of what they do there.
Always wanted to come and see it for myself. As well as Kinsale, in Ireland.

@globcoco @freemo Sounds good, what we should be promoting, and there is a link between a healthy body and healthy mind - essential for study

@zleap @freemo
What! You're close to Totnes? Where Rob Hopkins lives?😍

@zleap @freemo
Definitely!
Look I have to go to bed but I feel that what I've been researching all these years (2000 pages) are going to be VERY useful!!!
I actually want to write a book on it and help people with that.
My heart is singing!
Bonne nuit.

@zleap @freemo
That has been at the heart of my interests.
Understanding the interconnectedness through holistic living.
I have a ton of them!
On permaculture, health, food, TCM, minimalistic living, personal development, natural habitat, on finances too...

This (Holistic) is actually what that is about.
Nice!

@zleap @freemo
If you talk about movnat, they are not thinking of discrimination.
Their goal is to get back into mobility.
I really liked this woman's story:

Just added links to the 2x 24 hr courses for Maths with OpenLearn.

@globcoco @freemo On the other end for adults here, we can do 'recreational' courses. southdevon.ac.uk/?s=recreation

I am partly doing the Astronomy Orion course as a recreational course. so a different world, so we are already listing courses for the more 'academic' or 'adventurous'

@zleap @freemo
I agree with you.

Just wondering if they focus on this age range because they can give them specialized teaching with a lot of attention to get their energy channeled...

They seem to help these kids who are excluded to get their confidence building.

But yes we may also need this.

On that note, there is something that I really want to do.
You can check it out here:
movnat.com/
They are open to anyone no matter your age and that would definitely help me get back into shape.
I heard about them a few years ago and life went on as always.
I got to see other videos of a woman who is a biomecanician and who helps the elderly get into shape that would shock youngsters

Movnat and her are actually working together.

By the way I hope I'm not yet scrap heap material👵 !

@kev

That actually seems alright (that is half what you thought it would cost you) but the time spend needs to definitely be taken into account.

I know you have a day job so putting that much hours into managing your blog, I definitely go yes:
it is very important that you get energized from doing this!

@hansw

Sorry I didn't get that it was growing nice:

> "It was for compost reasons but one turned into a hill with lots of plants that simply where not growing very good. "

Nice. It is good to leave some for nature.
I think in permaculture they call it Zone 5.

Your garden looks really cool!

@zleap @freemo

They are! The price tags I saw were b/w £3000 and 20000...
Why did they got rid of the point courses?
Do you know if they have an alternative?
Quite a few online courses have mellowed their price due to Covid.
Maybe they did the same...

@zleap @freemo

Btw, so glad that Open Learn is made available b/c if not I definitely would not be able to undertake any courses there.
Thinking about doing one on
The role of diagnosis in counselling and psychotherapy

Keep exploring...

I was a former podcaster for a couple of years and did some shows that were on iTunes et al. I am looking to coming back to podcasting. Does anyone need a guest or a cohost or another seat on a podcast?
