  Who We Are
With their blessing in place, the first LifeWays Center was opened in Wisconsin in September 1998 as a pilot childcare project for children three months to six years old and host to the first LifeWays training.
LifeWays suggests that too often the missing ingredients are consistency, warmth, and long lasting relationships revolving around the care of young children in a community of mutual support for the adults who care for them.
LifeWays practices are based upon healthy sense development; continuity of care; development of mind and body; an enlivened experience of the domestic, nurturing, and creative arts; and the development of healthy social interactions.

  Lifeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A lifeway is the ecological position of human beings within a larger ecosystem - such as a food web.
The most basic distinction usually made between lifeways is that between the hunter-gatherer (including fishers) and that of the farmer (including the shepherd, goatherd or rancher) who domesticates wildlife to raise for food and clothing.
Urban lifeways (trading on relationships or information, manufacturing which requires infrastructural capital at hand, etc.) are studied by urban economics but are also technically lifeways in the same sense as that of the hunter-gatherer and farmer.

 Social Research: Culture, sexual lifeways, and developmental subjectivities: rethinking sexual taxonomies
These lifeways are conventionalized in the sense that they provide customary means and ends for individual development according to the locally situated theory of "human nature." Plummer (1994), for example, has explored the cultural narratives or "sexual stories" that guide normative and nonnormative sexual development in our own tradition.
Similarly, the concept of "lifeway" enables an understanding both of the life possibilities opened up, as well as those foreclosed by a given sexual lifeway (for example, being "gay" or "lesbian" has thus far precluded canonical church marriage and parenthood).
Thus, we can begin to chart the points of resistance as well as conformity in the space between deeply socialized desires--both normative and nonnormative--and the cultural scripts for their expression (Gagnon, 1990).

This book addresses these transformations through a series of case studies of changes in landscape and lifeways during the 1950-1990 period in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden.
Regional case studies spanning coal-based power plants in Saarland, farms and bogs in Slieveardagh, traditional fields of Waterland and ultra-modern agribusiness on Flevoland polder, landed estates and farms in Skåne -- all illustrate the interconnections of landscape transformations, tensions of place-based and sector-based lifeways, and highly variable horizons of discretionary reach.
Beyond regional differences however, all European societies today face common challenges: Europe's commitment to being the world's largest trading bloc while at the same time proclaiming biodiversity and regional distinctiveness; Europe's spatially and temporally-contained regimes of democratic authority vis-à-vis the footloose geographies of multinational enterprise and the ecological consequences of their operations.
