What we’re about
If:
=> You have looked at the local or global news about the climate, the rise of authoritarianism, environmental degradation, wealth inequality, the mental health crisis, or the economy and thought to yourself “ruh roh”.
=> You’ve read books like Overshoot, The Limits to Growth, or Deep Adaptation, and become concerned that the civilization we have enjoyed is heading towards a very uncertain future.
=> You’ve struggled to process this information or wondered what the right response should be.
=> You’ve tried to talk to loved ones or friends about your thoughts and feelings regarding potential futures, and have been met with ‘adaptive ignorance’, concerns for your sanity, or even ridicule.
Then this is a group you should consider joining.
I’m starting a community of people who are, in one way or another, deeply concerned about the mid to near-term future, and who want to work together to talk, plan, learn, and deal with our feelings.
When we meet, we’ll talk about what the future might bring, and how we might adapt. We will learn from each other, and establish a local network of ‘mutual aid’ sharing knowledge and support.
While this group is for a broad range of opinions and beliefs, it's primarily a place for people who believe that community and sharing is a better path than isolation and stockpiling.
