I hope you all have a fabulous day.

Hello, my name is Chloe. I live in southern Spain, working with Mediterranean dryland permaculture and documenting what actually works in a harsh, water-scarce climate. That land-based practice shapes a lot of what I create. I’m also building a series of permaculture-focused guided visualisations to help people stay grounded, reconnect with themselves and the land, and move toward the life they want to build. You can explore the current visualisations here: Little Green Visualisation Library I look forward to sharing experiences and learning alongside you all.

Dear friends, I want to begin by saying thank you. By being here at the beginning of Living Lightly Worldwide, you are helping to shape what this space becomes. Founding a community is not just about content — it is about trust, tone, and shared intention — and your presence matters more than you might realise. I’m very happy to let you know that the first course, A Beginner’s Guide to Living Lightly — on and off the land, in body, mind, and spirit, is now live in the Classroom. This course is offered as a gentle place to begin. There is no right pace, no expectation to complete anything, and no pressure to participate in any particular way. You are welcome to read, reflect, return, or simply let ideas settle. What matters most to me is not that we all agree, but that this space feels safe, respectful, and human. Although we may come from different countries, cultures, and belief systems, those divisions are largely human-made. Beneath them, we are all people — shaped by land, history, and circumstance — connected here only by geography and time zones, which is why this space exists online. If you feel comfortable, I would love to invite you to share in the comments: - something from the course that resonated - an experience from your own life or place - or a hope or desire you carry around living more lightly There is no need to explain yourself or perform insight. Listening is just as welcome as speaking. My hope is that, over time, this community grows into something that feels less like a platform and more like trusted family — a place where curiosity, care, and honesty are held gently. Thank you again for being here, and for helping this space come into being. With warmth, Cath 🌿

It's a busy time of year for those of us who celebrate Christmas. It's hard not to get caught up in the commercialism and extravagance. Why don't we kick off the group by sharing ways we deal with the stress; keep to a budget; and do our bit for the environment.

Hello, my name is Chloe. Guided meditations have been central in my growth — helping me shift old patterns, reconnect with my authentic self, and take meaningful inner action even during low-energy seasons. I’m creating a growing series of permaculture-rooted guided visualisations to help people stay grounded, reconnect with themselves and the land, and move toward the life they want to build. You can explore the current pieces here: Little Green Visualisation Library I live in southern Spain, practicing Mediterranean dryland permaculture and documenting what actually works in a harsh, water-scarce climate. That connection with the land deeply shapes the visualisations I create. I look forward to sharing experiences and learning alongside you all.
