This course will help you develop the confidence to step into this unknown future and create a realistic action plan that you can implement in your unique life circumstances.

About the course
Overview
This training is for:
- Individuals concerned about the future who want to support their families and communities to be more resilient and better prepared for changing times.
- People who work on farms, in eco-villages or on land-based projects that know their organization needs to adapt quickly, and want support catered to their unique needs.
- Business owners and not-for-profit organizations wanting to ensure their business/organization is resilient if a disaster strikes.
- Urban, rural and community planners who have a responsibility to look after others and design more resilient and regenerative systems and infrastructure that are ready for the challenges ahead.
What to Expect
- Create a “Holistic Climate Change Adaption & Response Plan” specific to your family, community, business, farm or organization, one that is realistic about your current capacity, timelines, and budget.
- Learn about innovative solutions in emergency/climate change adaption and regenerative design.
- Learn how to best prepare for specific disasters such as fires, floods, droughts, heat and more.
- Be immersed in a “mock-disaster scenario” in a safe container. This is a priceless activity in beginning to develop the mindset and skills to support your family and community in challenging situations. You will also learn how to design “mock-scenarios” to help train and prepare others.
- Learn from several different instructors in their areas of expertise, such as: Chris Gilmour (Holistic Emergency Preparedness), Starhawk (Wildfires & Trauma Informed Response), Leila Darwish (Earth Repair & Community Response Organizing), and more.
Planning for emergencies and disasters is an integral part of regenerative design.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Chris Gilmour, Lead Instructor
“I became obsessed with the study of ecology, survival, self-reliance, and rediscovering my relationship with nature and human potential. This sent me on the adventure of a lifetime.
I apprenticed in permaculture and learned how to grow my own food. Studied herbal medicine and remote back-country first aid. Started my own modern-day homestead with my wife. And helped build a not-for-profit youth organization to reconnect kids and people back to the land.
With a desire to bridge all I had learned, from practicing farming, survival and studying natural ecosystems, I wanted to now use this to face some of the most significant challenges I saw facing the modern world.
This led me back to school to study Emergency & Disaster Management, where I began a new journey.
Chris Outdoor’s consulting & mentoring/training practices bridge the best of modern emergency preparedness and response with the holistic practices of permaculture, natural awareness and leadership skills.
I’ve helped run disaster exercises and training for municipal governments, NGOs, ecovillages, farms, and one of my biggest passions: outdoor education organizations.”
