Week of October 14 – 27

Hot Off the Press

Building the Lifeboat is the Lifeboat

As the reality of the polycrisis is dawning on more and more people, we keep hearing the same questions: What can I do? Where do I start? How can I get ready for something when I don’t even know what’s gonna happen?

This week, we’ll be hosting our next DIY Lifeboat webinar to answer these questions. The webinar provides a simple 5-step process that anyone, anywhere can use to grow their own local resilience network in the face of whatever might be coming down the pike, starting right where you are now. It introduces you to a toolkit of techniques and processes that can help jumpstart your local resilience building effort and offers a number of supports to keep you on track.

But there is a core concept underlying all the pieces and parts that is beguilingly simple, but absolutely essential. Without understanding the core concept, the tools are ineffective. Understand the core concept and the tools become mostly incidental.

Building a lifeboat is not about an end product nor is it merely an attitude. Building a lifeboat is a practice. Building the lifeboat is the lifeboat.
