Active Resilience For Community and Earth

This course explores how we can use our lived experience to support the resilience of our communities. We look at peer support networks, and their importance in supporting each other 121, and how this can help strengthening our communities, supporting collective mental wellbeing. Active Resilience For Community and Earth, is part of our Permaculture and Mental Heath Pilot project

 

We look first at building our own resilience, and then learn how to use these tools and techniques to support others, helping to build collective resilience within our communities.

​

The course, brings together a mixture of the social permaculture tools from our Introduction To Permaculture course, teachings and inspiration from Polly Higgins, Joanna Macy & Chris Johnston, as well as Jon Yates, author of Fractured, and an array of permaculture designers.
