STACK YOUR LIFE: Creating Greater Alignment with Yoshi Silverstein

Even during “normal” times, when self-care is just another item on our to-do lists, we’re often just setting ourselves up for failure. Add in social isolation, working from home, caring for friends and families … during unusual times we need approaches that are the opposite of business-as-usual. What does it look like to bring a permaculture-inspired “function-stacking” approach to integrating personal, social, ecological, and professional needs in ways that reinforce rather than compete with each other? This playshop introduces stack-your-life concepts and provides tools to audit, analyse, and adapt your life to reduce silos and increase stacking. We’ll do a specific case study on DIY Nature Excursions as one particularly valuable way to increase connection and other benefits of time in nature.
