Are you interested in sustainability? Do you want to know if is possible to live off grid? Do you think that is possible to survive in a crisis situation? Join David and Raquel for a practical, informative and fun weekend learning skills from bushcraft to foraging.
The purpose of this workshop is to help you prepare and be in touch with your capacity to take care of yourself and others close to you. This is in part down to being prepared, having stock of food and water etc, but also, more importantly how to work with others around you and create resilient self-supportive communities, sharing knowledge, experience and ideas. Communities or resilient networks can be friends, families, or neighbors and is not limited by living in one place together.
This weekend workshop is going to be fun, practical and inspiring journey exploring the nature of what it is to be resilient and sustainable. We are looking forward to sharing our experiences of community and living in a sustainable way.
