Our Impact in 2025
"Because of this workshop, I now have a well-organized first aid cabinet with the supplies I need most. I also took a Stop The Bleed course so that I can provide my community with life-saving medical care if needed."
"I've expanded my seed saving operation as I continue to increase my community-level response here on the ground. We plan to use seeds I saved in the spring…to teach a unit about this in the local public school's agriculture class!"
"This workshop led me to some profound realizations. Instead of having a mindset of needing to prepare for the end of most everything, I am now thinking more about what is more likely to happen where I am."
Stories
"I stopped feeling the pressure of individualism - the idea that I alone must prepare myself - and turned toward my closest people to help support this process and build resilience together!"
"At Living Systems Institute, the workshop contributed to the resiliency of our community members and neighbors by equipping us with essential plans and readiness."
"I put on a small workshop for ten people this fall on growing food in the winter and fall in my community. I also went to a Permaculture conference and discussed long-term plans for resilience and repair of the land."
