The Yield of the System is Theoretically Unlimited
I seek to design my life conscious of the flows of energy. I hope to synthesize my skills as a permaculture designer, herbalist, nutritionist and massage therapist/healer to create an integrated system of life-coaching that reconnects humans with natural ecosystems. Beginning with Zone 0 and the choices we make each day, I hope to share my experience to help others create sustainable, fulfilling lives. My aspirations for this year largely surround improving my techniques with permaculture including design and land stewardship (soil management, seeds). I am continually expanding as a healer and my current focus includes herbalism, feng shui, and reiki. In my Life & Career Review, I have shown the successful work I have done teaching nutrition, movement, meditation, permaculture, and healthy lifestyle choices . I aspire to continue as a teacher and facilitator and design courses and workshops that integrate this knowledge base to include care of the planet to empower others to learn about their own food and medicine. In the coming years, I aspire to document successful permaculture strategies to build from Zone 0 into working ecological relationships.
Abstract & Summary of this OP
The Learning Intentions and Pathway Designs outlines projects and goals that I aspire toward in my lifetime -- concentrating specifically upon this next year. It includes 3 projects I am currently implementing, and creates a design framework for several lifelong projects. In addition, I am creating lists of skills I currently have and hope to develop in addition to metrics for measuring my skillflex development and project pathway progression. There are several timelines (one specific to Gaia U OP's, one a general timeline for the next year including work and personal and other study). There are several mindmaps and concrete next steps to achieve the goals I have and skills I hope to develop.
1.1C Specification & Abstract is a brief outline of the entire output packet including my personal vision statement.
1.2C OP Planning is an outline of the ten output packets I intend to do over the next 2 years and a timeline for my studies this coming year with Gaia U.
1.3C Projects and Plans outlines 3 projects I am currently or soon to be undertaking and concrete plans to execute.
1.4C Skills, Intentions and Interests contains an articulate list of my current skillflexes and where I wish to develop including priority level in my life and general next steps (downloadable document). It includes learning that I wish to engage within in terms of content: books to read, articles to write, movies to watch, workshops to teach and attend. Skills from the 5 P's are included from my resume.
1.5C Supporting Evidence includes short terms goals and life's intentions. There is a mind map concretizing next steps and short term goals. There is a timeline for the next year of my life including Work, Study and Personal. And there is a mind map of allies on my journey.
1.6C Reflections is my personal commentary on my experience of un/learnings that emerged during this output packet.
Feedback from previous OP's
The feedback I received for my first OP suggested that there was a lot of narrative and it was difficult to navigate. I have included more lists, mindmaps, timelines, graphics and have links to relevant information more easily available. I also attempted to have better summaries for each page to give context to people.
Digiphon
I used X Mind to create Timelines and MindMaps for this OP.
I am buying Pages for Mac now as I recognize that I am interested in easeful graphic design, posters, newsletters, etc.

Due to compounding difficulties, I did not and cannot figure out who I reviewed for their LIPD. Jennifer gave me permission to include an extra peer reveiew that I did during the year in its place.
