Permaculture isn’t just about learning new techniques. Its also about unlearning the mindset we were raised with. The industrial world teaches us to: - Prioritize speed over care - Chase efficiency over balance - Rely on systems instead of ourselves - Treat land as a resource instead of a living partner When you step into homesteading and permaculture, those patterns start to crack. And suddenly you realize: ❌ More is not always better ❌ Perfection is a trap ❌ Nature doesn’t move on deadlines ❌ Slowing down isn’t lazy—it’s wise ❌ Productivity ≠ value Personally, I had to unlearn the idea that “work” only counts if it’s busy, loud, or monetized. Now, when I sit with my animals, walk the land, or just observe a system doing its thing without my interference—I see that as success, not wasted time. So I want to ask you: - What’s something you’ve had to unlearn on this path? - Was it hard to let go of? - What changed for you after you did? Drop your answer below 👇Let’s give each other permission to release what no longer serves us.

What’s one belief about self-sufficiency or homesteading that you had in the beginning… and that you no longer believe now? Sometimes letting go is just as transformative as learning something new.

Hey everyone, Let me know if someone messages you and tries to pitch/spam you on something. When you make the group free, some people think it means free lunch. Thanks -Stef
