STORIES OF RESILIENCE
Explore firsthand accounts of insights from those on the ground. Through the beauty of narrative, witness how experiences, practices, and insights have shaped community members’ resilience and informed their understanding of it. Spanning place and time, these collection of stories connect us with the human experience of this journey. Zoom ahead to 2050 and imagine looking back on our current times: how would you explain the turn of events to your grandchild? Zoom back to the 1970s when a community was first forming: what gifts could they bring from their adventurous past to now establish roots and make a positive impact?
