Head over to the website and share, support, attend, speak, sponsor and let’s Disrupt Digitally ( for Good)! 💫 . .

Unfortunately missing the opening keynote on Permaculture Design..... 🌱 Will be great to hear and meet some of the ethical marketeers and influencers like @ethicalhour 💚 Right now we seem to be riding a wave of growing ethical & environmental awareness and product choices. A lot however is often just swapping to a new material or more ethically made version of the same. It will be interesting if the role of consumption itself comes up. Requiring Life and work changes. 🤔 How do we actually create a new economy that isn’t so heavily built on selling stuff, more and fast? Where slow, careful, sustainable and needed is key. Where it is built around creating happy, healthy lives? 🌎 Anyway, train arriving in Paddington and the tube awaits 😬 Happy ethical Friday all! . 📷inspiration @liveconscious_ . #ethicalliving #sustainabledesign #circulareconomy #ecodesigner #liveyourvalues #startupnature #ethicalconsumption #fridayquotes Photo of bins alert! Just slightly excited by rainwater harvesting, composting and greenhouse antics ( oh and those bean poles). 🌱 Already topped up a wee pond we found in the garden with the rainwater and have some frogs moved in. 🐸 So many new green things to learn! . . . . #thelittlethings #rainwaterharvesting #compostbin #getoutdoorsmore #simplethingsinlife #growyourown#ecodesigner #greenliving #ecoliving #productdesigner #rdguk #beyourbrand #gardengoals 👋 sorry been a bit quiet. A lot of the time things don’t happen when we think they should or want them to! Well you want them to, but earlier and easier. 🤨 Particularly when you’re creating a business, developing programmes, materials and products, it often always takes longer than you plan and expect 💤 Likewise when you’re looking to create a nourishing home and environment to live and work from. 🏡 Last week we finally got the keys to our new home after much delay and months of waiting, patiently..... we’ve been all go since then shifting our things across, getting the jungle of the garden at the back a bit in control, cancelling and setting up all the essentials ( still waiting on internet ) 😮 And of course attempting to keep up with work and everyday life! Its so easy to forget to sit down, take it all in and breathe and feel oh so, so grateful for family and support! 💆‍♀️ Now turns out to be is as good as time as any and all the little pieces, ups and downs, experiences add a richness and are part of the story. ✨ More pics to follow, when I get round to it....... 💙 . . 📷 @subliming.jpg #lifequotes #movingtime #authenticlife #startupnature A day of differences, of sharp edges and nature balance, of hospital checkups, work proposals & creative blue sky thinking. Of excitement and anticipation, anxiousness, of love, dreaming and resilience 🌱 Yes it’s another magical day ✨ . . . . . #technicalnature #inspiredbynature #greenarchitecture #greendesign #resilience #naturetakeback #rdguk #rdgukbusiness #shippingcontainers #lifesupsanddowns #startuplife #appreciatewhatyouhave #ecodesigner #authenticliving #blueskythinking Here’s to a week of creative life work juggling!🤹‍♀️ Can’t juggle, like me? 🤦‍♀️ Well better just laugh and enjoy the challenge 😆 . . . . #juggling #mondaymood #mondaymantra #doodlesketch #entrepreneurlife #startupcoach #ecodesigner #rdguk #rdgukbusiness #creativehappylife #freelancerlife #smallbusinesslove #authenticlife #enjoythejourney #enjoytheexperience #jugglinglife #worklifejuggle Loving the Sunshine & roaring sustainable community spirit today! ☀️ 🦁 🌎 . . . . . #rdguk #community #communityenergy #readingtownmeal #sustainableliving #ecolifestyle #ecoliving #berkshire #readingberkshire #caversham #volunteering #autumn🍁🍂 #ecofriendlyliving #berkshirebusiness #blueskiesandsunshine #ecordguk #bemoreyou #liveyourvalues #getoutside #renewables Heading to the wonderful Forbury Gardens today, volunteering with @rdghydro at The Reading Town Meal. 💙 It’s set to be a super community day where the local colleges catering course cooks up a free meal for 1000 using locally grown veg and fruit from gardens and allotments 🌱 Alongside this there’s live music and loads of activities and stall from local groups, campaigns & businesses related to the community and environment. ♻️ And the sun is shining! ☀️ “Oh beautiful World” ( quote from Oscar Wilde memorial garden ) 🌎 Happy Saturday all X . . . . . #rdguk #readingtownmeal #communityenergy #autumnvibes #volunteerlife #ecordguk #ecoliving #liveyourvalues #sustainableliving
