What you will work through
Start with the system you already live in. The course introduces sustainable lifestyle design as a way of creating less stress and more capability, rather than a list of perfect environmental rules.
Understand the foundations. It connects rest, air, food, water, waste management, comfort and style, showing how household choices support one another.
Move from insight to action. The course considers do-it-yourself solutions and pooled resources, helping you identify which changes belong in your own home and which are better achieved with others.
Use the Resource Centre alongside the course
The course gives you the framework. The Resource Centre helps you take the next practical step, with stage guides, planning information and project ideas that match the Modloba pathway.
1. Secure water first
Plan storage, catchment, circulation, filtration and responsible reuse before adding more complex systems.
2. Build compost and soil
Turn organic matter, mulch and moisture management into productive soil that a household can maintain.
3. Grow food that fits your conditions
Use reliable water and healthier soil to build manageable food gardens, productive beds and food forests.
4. Make shelter and structures useful
Consider greenhouse, storage, shelter and support structures as practical tools for a more resilient home.

5. Add livestock and fish only when the system is ready
