Disaster Resilience Gathering
Come join us for a lively Disaster Resilience Gathering hosted by the wonderful Indy Rishi Singh! We're bringing together friends, neighbors, and community champions to explore how we can build stronger, more resilient communities. Expect engaging constructive conversations, biocultural ecorestoration ecotherapy (getting dirty with some light farmwork), inspiring ideas around food and eco-homes, California doughnut economics, and a warm atmosphere filled with laughter and connection.
Here are some of the major items we will be discussing:
Building fire-proof adobe homes recycling local materials and local ecology https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-02-20/superadobe-calearth-hesperia-fire-resistant-los-angeles

Understanding the California Doughnut Economics snapshot and why we need to address polycrisis with polysolutions
Learning weapons and self-defense to ensure safety and security of community https://www.emedihealth.com/health-news/reasons-take-self-defense-classes
Building better waste systems, including humanure systems that convert human waste into energy and midnight soil while protecting watersheds https://consciouscityguide.com/human-waste-a-valuable-compost-that-nourishes-the-earth/
Creating a network of caregivers ready to care for children, elders, and others who have special needs https://www.cultivatingself.org/
Here's a playful rhyme to spark our collective spirit:
When storms arrive and troubles brew,
It's community strength that sees us through.
Let's gather now, resilience in mind,
To build a future that's safe and kind.
Food security matters, let's plant the seed,
Ensuring each neighbor has what they need.
Eco-friendly homes, built with care,
Protecting our planet, water, and air.
Proactive caregiving, compassion's art,
Community intelligence, wisdom at heart.
Together we'll thrive, together we'll grow,
Join our gathering, let resilience flow!
