The first rule about later phases of Maslow: Is you don't yet talk too much about the later phases of Maslow... Briefly: The problem with wonderful permaculture plans, is the time and investment it takes to actualise those plans. Maslow 🚜 Mobilise aims to change this.

Before starting The Maslow Initiative, I asked the universe for 3 things: I need an 🏛️ architect. I need a 👨‍🌾 permaculturist. I need a 🤝 brother and co-founder who is ready for the mission of a lifetime... Jaydon Meidlinger was all three 🫂

Maslow 🗺️ LandScouts is our property and real estate analysis, design and management branch, starting officially in Phase 2 of the mission. Check back soon for updates.

We’re not just building food forests. We’re building the myths of the next civilisation. Maslow 🎙️ Media is our production and content creation engine. In a world overwhelmed by noise, we try our best to focus on the signal. And oh baby baby baby... we are just getting started.

🧑‍🎓 Learning, how we learn, what we learn, why we learn, that we are living, breathing, functional beings on a life harbouring planet, that we even have the possibility of learning and growing... much wow, such miracle.

Do you like compound interest? Do you like 100x returns? Introducing: ♻️ GroundSwell. This is how a keystone species builds true civilisational wealth. Distributed, decentralised and well designed waste stream to food abundant ecosystem loops, integrated with human habitat.

"So, positive externalities are actually the result of good design based on understanding the interconnectedness of things." - Daniel Schmachtenberger

If you are reading this, it is likely that you are a human being. You are the super meta hyper designer keystone species of this planet. As part of nature, you can work with nature, to design nature, and make nature do more nature. This is your nature. You are nature.

Bill really didn't mince words. If you, as a human being, a hyper intelligent designer & living animal on a habitable planet in space, have not connected with how important repairing the natural world is right now, then I invite you to think about it deeply for 1 full minute.

Attending our Permaculture Design Course with Geoff Lawton was like sitting at the feet of the Alan Watts of gardening. Geoff told us about the "18-Day Fast Compost" method. 🤯 We were absolutely mind blown. Join our workshop from 26 - 28 September 2025 to see the action 👀⚡️

We started The Maslow Initiative, knowing we would commit our lives to solving for human needs in harmony with nature, to recreate the zero-cost-of-living solar punk permaculture paradise we all remember... and can't wait to live in again. We begin... with the soil. #Compost

now, here,

The most remarkable feature of this historical moment is not that we are destroying the world; we've been on that path a while. It's that we are waking up, from a millennia-long sleep. - Joanna Macy

As technology is empowering our choices and we are getting something like the power of gods, you have to have something like the love and the wisdom of gods to wield that or you self-destruct. - Daniel Schmachtenberger

The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away. - Marcus Aurelius

And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more. - Anne Frank

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
