Stronger Together: Building Community Resilience in the Blue Mountains

What makes a community resilient?

It’s more than solar panels, vegetable gardens, and sustainable homes. True resilience is built through the relationships, trust, and connections that help people support one another through change and uncertainty.

Join Jen Hall from Permaculture Matters for this engaging and interactive workshop exploring how stronger communities create a stronger future. Through practical activities, group discussion, and shared experiences, you’ll discover how the principles of permaculture can be applied not only to the land, but also to the way we connect, collaborate, and care for one another.

This is not a lecture—it’s an opportunity to participate, share ideas, and meet others who are passionate about creating a thriving and resilient Blue Mountains community.

Together we will:

* Explore the Permaculture Ethics and their relevance to community resilience
* Discover practical ways to strengthen social connections and local networks
* Reflect on what helps communities adapt and thrive in uncertain times
