“Only the extraordinary can save us”

Latest news!

* Rubha Phoil, the nature-based permaculture community designed and pioneered by Ludwig is opening up for all sorts of exciting opportunities!   It is a large undertaking! It is a really community on a gorgeous rock in the sea off Skye, but also a Virtual Village with it’s own currency and circular economy! And much more. You have to see it to believe it!
You can find our more here.

* Due to popular demand for advice, booking conversations with Otter is now automated. You can book a short free phone call on the contact page. 

Ludwig has left the £-world as much as he can and now prefers to accepts Rubha Rocks (RR) as payment for his services. You can buy RR’s on the Virtual Village or earn them by selling your own services! Once a member of the Village, it is entirely possible to have a fair exchange with Ludwig without any £’s involved. You can read more here.


* A conversation between Otter and Roadrunner about how to build a connecting culture, nature connection, and what listening to the birds has to do with… everything…
Roadrunner (Tyler) came to help us at Rubha Phoil for a few months. He made a massive contribution while here and also learned a lot. This conversation explains what and why and even also even though he had a great time here, he also explains why he returned home earlier than planned…..

* Katie Revell has made a beautiful film about the work of Ludwig. It was shown on the Scottish Mental Health festival in May 2021. You can watch the film here. Thank you Katie!
