Living Lightly Worldwide is a learning ecosystem and way of living, grounded in permaculture ethics and shaped through lived practice across diverse contexts.


We support people to think, choose and design well in real-life contexts through books, audio learning, courses and mentoring.

Learning That Meets Real Lives

Resources range from gentle self-paced books and games, to year-long mentorship pathways.
There is no expectation to follow a single route - you can engage in ways that suit your context and learning style.

Learning Grounded in Place

Our learning is rooted in lived places — from Adrian’s Croft in Scotland to Campoverde in Spain, and partner projects around the world.
These living laboratories inform everything we teach.

Learning in Relationship

Learning happens through reflection, dialogue, and shared experience — not just information transfer.
Community and mentorship sit at the heart of our work.


Living lightly is not a fixed method, but a way of thinking and working that adapts to place, circumstance and responsibility.
