Introduction

The purpose of this output packet is to lay the foundation of my work for the remainder of this first year at Gaia U. It is to serve as a detailed plan of action, carefully designing the ways in which I will spend my time and energy to meet my un/learning and project goals. As I progress with my work it will function as a guideline for skill building and a timeline for my projects. I also hope that the OP will give other community members a chance to see what I plan to do here and provide an opportunity for collaborations. 

In this output packet I will:

1. articulate the base motivation for my future work

2. explore my current interests and skills

3. establish short, medium and long term un/learning and project goals

4. define my un/learning and project work for the remainder of the year at Gaia U

My broad skills and interests will be honed down and applied to some challenging yet exciting projects that will provide significant opportunities for profound un/learning. I have chosen to blend the technical aspects of Permaculture design with some work geared more toward pushing edges and exploring new ways of thinking and learning. 

This OP was created with a Macbook Pro, photos from a digital camera edited in Photoshop, text written and backed up with Open Office, and the Mahara software.
