Fantastic output. You skilfully weave personal intention with planetary care, and articulate creatively and succinctly how you want to contribute to regenerative ways of living and interacting with the land. You identify strengths and weaknesses and skill flexes you wish to gain through innovative, action-learning projects that will  benefit all beings. You compliment this with radical honesty about managing time and promises, self care and managing demanding projects. You recognise the enormity of the work but gracefully take the first steps and lay a path moving into clarity about how to achieve your desires. Thank you for sharing.

Required Next Step

Recommended Next Steps
- Please add an explicit conclusion to your reflections pages, just to 'finish' the OP. 

Comments per section

Section 1 - Specifications and Abstract
- Great use of links to all the design tools you have used - it may be useful to the reader to indicate at the start which are essential for your OP (or part of your word count), and which are optional material for us to forage at leisure
- Love the link back to your LCR - really shows your learning threads
- Thanks for the box about how you have responded to feedback, shows real action learning 
- Great clear xmind map

Section 2 - Goals, skills and interests
- What is moral evolution? Sounds fascinating!
- Really fantastic skill flex form! A brilliant way to track your learning. How often will you enter data? 
- Really beautiful who am I? Map - I love how you have bought the information to life with mind
- I really resonate with your sentence "I love working alone but as a component of a larger group as I'm driven by the pressure of responsibility and performance" - groups really do give us this accountability and pressure. How can you use this self knowledge to your advantage when designing future projects? 
- The design skills analysis SWOT is a really simple way to communicate where you are at & stacks well with the form you have created. Do you have a nice you would like to optimise over time? 
- A huge amount of amazing regenerative projects, I feel really privileged to help see how they unfold. 
- I did a regional food shed related design for my permaculture diploma two years ago, thought it may interest you for your work - http://www.wildheartpermaculture.co.uk/?page_id=2787

Section 3 - Projects, Timeline and Plans
- Project flower is a brilliant way to organise your projects. I love it!
- It may be useful to title your next steps as 'Next Steps' or something, so people not familiar with mahara now what is being listed. 
- The next steps are solid and clear, lots to do! 
- I really like your section about current challenges and how you will address them. Its a nice way of recognising our role in the bigger picture and what part we will play.
- Timeline - useful meta view of your recent life history. Have you tried diving to details a little more to check your loadings? E.g. season by season or month by month? Are all the projects taking place at the same time? 

3.1 Zones 00- 2 Personal to Professional
- Once again I love the use of zoning! 
- Just on an editing level - font could be slightly bigger for ease of the reader. 
- Missing the D on 'disinterest' 
- I really love your list of permaculture principles & how you are achieving them. Its such a great framework. 
- I think your 8 hour framework is really great also. What do you define as 'work'? What are the differences between working and creating? 
- How can you make your self care intentions tangible e.g SMART targets? 

3.2 Zones 3-4 Greater Community and Bioregion
- Great, honest writing and a beautiful vision, one that I am very confident you will make a reality! 
- Seems like there a some nuggets of gold in the notes from a representative. 
- Insightful use of permaculture principles. 

3.3 Global/Meta Context
- You write so beautifully!
- Quick edit - Know to now, second paragraph 
- As teaching is a strong part of your pathway, how will you develop these skills? Explore pedagogies and strategies for accelerating learning? Who can you learn from? Which teachers have inspired you? 
- Great that you aim to observe yourself in group situations and find yourself a niche, no short task! Can take a long time of self reflection and exploration. Perhaps you could design this into future outputs as something to always include in your reflections? 
- Make sure you forward any links about the truck, I can put them on the Gaia U website/networks/newsletter. How do you see the two year teaching role in your life? 

4 - OP Planning 
- May be good to touch base on this section in our next advising session. It would be good to think about your output creation patterns and some potential time frameworks for them. 
- Just as examples - you can see in my MSc Learning Intentions Pathway design how I have organised my learning goals into different outputs - http://portfolios.gaiauniversity.org/view/view.php?id=2885 (but please note there is HUGE variety and diversity. The aim is to design a system that works for you. This may just be doing it in a time frame e.g. an OP over 3 months summarising all your different projects/learnings… or an OP focusing specifically on one thing e.g. PIFPAF)

5 - Reflections 
- It is really interesting to read your reflections section, following this illuminating, powerful & ambitious declaration of desires and visions. I'm glad the OP served you and benefited you in your processing. 
- Great that you have a time log 
- A thought on complexity - once again, you write so creatively and beautifully, please share your writings!! They are a gift. 
- Is it me - again, some real radical honesty, thank you for sharing. How can you acknowledge your accomplishments? Celebrate each OP? 
- Great think and listen notes. 
- Brought a smile to my face about drawing on Totnes as an example, will have to fill you in about that place sometime!
- Time management seems to surface a lot… could this be a focus of an OP for you? I have seen some great examples in the Gaia U community of this. 
- Is your design process based on Looby's design web? Would be great to link/credit if so. 
- A short conclusion would be great and is required.
