Integration
We use the web of connections to see which elements of our design are connected with each other, and which ones are the main elements that support others or the inconvenient elements that have to be readjusted. To identify the main elements of our system we gonna look at the main points that we want to meet.
Clear Points
- Ohli needs a nice and good education
- We both want to go back to Can Silo (Spain) in some point
- We want to keep developing Can Silo as a PC educational center
- My partner needs to learn Catalan
- We want to fill up with our business project Organic Playgrounds
- We are doing work in Uk
- We want to stop to work for others
- Could come back to UK for work in winter
- In UK we can save money and finish our permaculture diplomas
- We want to run courses in UK and Spain
- We want to have traveling experiences (Leisure and Business)
Having clarified the elements and actions which the ones we are going to build our new life approach together, we started to connect and visualize systems that could operate in interdependence and harmony to find the most multi-functional way for the benefit from each other.
Below you can see the list of selected elements and in the drawing on the right, are represented the connection between them.

This analysis has helped us to organise our ideas and clarify some things in our relationship we wanted to discard, maintain, enhance or add.
Discard
My partner is working for another person, he is Jay (you can see him as one of the elements above). This situation is been a bit tricky to manage for us, as Nims have to expend many days out of home far from Ohli, and by that I need to stay at home been householder, which I do not mind but limit me a lot to achieve some of my dreams in life because lack of time and space.
We want this situation to change and be mostly me who go to work outside the home and be them who can spend more hours together (as Nim is his biological mother). By doing this web of connections we could see that Jay´s connection is not benefiting our system and and we have decided that it is much better to focus in our own project with Organic Playgrounds and Nomadic Permaculture in Can Silo.

Action
Implementation Plan
This is one of the most exciting moments in which we were both much more attuned and wanting to move to the action, in search of an ever better life for us together.
My partner has decided to leaved her work with Jay and now we will focus on develop professionally Organic Playgrounds as a family business. At the moment we having good results with the already work done with some schools and the new jobs that has booked.
With the new situation being our own business we can organise as we want, so we can meet the needs of all three, having Nim more and better quality of time to expend with Ohli. Also not been all day together Ohli and I will led us to relax our relationship, and enjoy better the moments that we are together.
The idea is to have control of our time and economy, hoping that our life will gradually begin to stabilize and it will avoid stress with uncertainty in constant changes.

Helps & Reflection
PNI
We used PNI (Positive, Negative, Interesting) analysis to reflect different options we have if we are in UK or Spain, and to pay special attention in Ohli's having a good education.
Bellow you can see a short list with some helps that we would have in each possible choice.
