Here we go — our first Monthly Experiment! We had two votes for our November focus (thanks @Donna Thornton and @Lynne Vella), so let’s make room for both: 🎁 the Festive Season and 🥕 Reducing Food Wastage. There’s plenty of crossover between them. 😊 This week, we’re simply choosing one (or more if you are feeling extra motivated) small thing we’d like to explore or try. 🎁 Festive Season Perhaps you’d like to make a gift, try reusable wrapping, rethink your decorations or find a way to celebrate that feels less expensive and more meaningful. Our Made to Give classroom course has some ideas to get you started. 🥕 Reducing Food Wastage You might experiment with an “eat me first” shelf in the fridge, plan a meal around what needs using up, freeze leftovers or find a use for something you normally throw away. You’re also welcome to choose a topic that is completely different that’s relevant to your household right now, there are no rules! I will gather ideas and information for our topics over this week and pop them in the community for you to look through. Take what resonates for you, ignore what doesn't. Feel free to share any inspiration or ideas that you find during the week also. 👉 Your invitation this week 👈 Tell us what topic you would like to explore during November. Are there any areas in particular within this topic that you would like to focus on first? (That way I can gather the most relevant ideas and information for you). If you’re unsure where to begin, pop that in the comments too — we can explore it together. Keep it small enough to fit into your actual life. There’s no need to overhaul Christmas or rescue every carrot just yet. 😄 Next week, we’ll explore a useful resource, idea or demonstration to help us along. For now, let’s choose our starting point. 🧡 ⭐ IN THE COMMENTS: Tell us what topic you would like to explore during November.👇

Hey everyone, I just wanted to make sure that you know that you are soooooo welcome to ask questions in this space, even if they sound too simple, or a bit crazy (that's my second language so I've got you), or you have some perceived idea of what you think you should know already - everything here is welcome. Do you know what happens when you ask a question? 🌟 My whole body comes alive. 🌟 A smile pops up on my face. 🌟 The currents of experience and wisdom start flowing and vibrating through my entire self. 🌟 And, I start whole-heartedly celebrating YOU. When you ask a question, you aren't just asking it for yourself. 🌸 You are asking it for the person who couldn't articulate the inner question they had. 🌸 You are asking it for the person who didn't want to say their question out loud. 🌸 You are asking it for the people who meet you throughout your life. 🌸 You are asking it for future generations. 🌸 You are asking it because you care. I bet you didn't know that asking me or the community what dish washing liquid you could try would be so meaningful aye? Well it is! And never worry about asking 'too many' questions- I will be totally honest with you if it's something that I can't help you with at that time, or if I will need to get back to you. There is also a whole community here to jump in and give their perspectives and experiences too. So, what question(s) have been sitting there that you are wanting to ask? NB: And I'll just add, if it just feels too much to ask in the community, flick me a DM and I can post it anonymously if I feel it's a great question we can all learn from.

Whether you’re just beginning to question the products and choices around you, have already made a few changes, or are ready to explore more deeply—you are welcome here. This community is a place to become curious, learn from one another and try small, practical changes in a way that works for your real life. There is nothing to catch up on and no expectation to change everything at once. When you’re ready, begin with the Start Here section in the Classroom. It will show you around and help you choose a useful place to begin. After that, take your time. Explore what interests you, ask whenever you need support and let one small step lead naturally to the next. I’m so glad you’re here. 🌿
