It is simple, however, simple does not mean easy. This is where a roadmap and a plan on the journey becomes important!
The Roadmap
DIY Process to Changing Culture
Reprogramming our culture is an effort that requires all of us providing billions of imputes over generations, that is how we got where we are, and it is how we need to get where we are gong. The difference, we do it intentionally this time.
We need to Do It Ourselves, together, because if somebody else were going to fix the problems they would have by now. After all, what is a grassroots network if not a bunch of individuals who have found common ground and chosen to work together. They are doing it themselves.

The Framework
Foundation Assumptions
Any framework that will be able to create a sustainable change and eventual resilience will fail if this is not included in the development.
- Humans are hardwired to need a cultural framework in order to live together.
- Humans are hardwired to be in community
- Humans are innately curious
- Humans are not lazy by nature
- Humans live under the same conditions of survival as all other species on this planet
Any framework that will be able to create a sustainable change and eventual resilience will fail if this is not included in the development.
One Piece at a Time
|
This is how we see our world and the various parts that touch us and affect our lives. We try to make sense of it, and we might even try to connect two or more pieces, but the shear chaos of it all can overwhelm any us.
Seeing our reality this way, it is hard to understand that there is a bigger picture that we can affect to change our reality and make life better for ourselves, our families and our communities. What if I told you that by changing a few basic things, and spending a little time learning how to see, you could make your world a better place and give yourself far greater security? |
|
When you can see the pieces more clearly, you see the patterns and the order. This is not the end, but rather the beginning of your journey. You must learn to see these patterns more fully and without emotion, like a doctor looking at an x-ray and diagnosing the problem for treatment.
You will see how systems are in place to keep people from coming together, to create divisiveness, and to benefit the wealthy. It will be hard to see without emotion, but you need to discipline yourself to see this without feeling. there is time for emotion to play a part later. |

|
You will not be alone in this process, you will have mentors helping you on this process, you will have family, friends and new friends to go trough this with you. This is important, what you have seen affects us all, every one of us. And nothing can be done alone.
Now is the time to discuss what you have seen and to understand that you and those with you can create a different outcome together. You can created by changing on piece of the puzzle at a time, building your connections until the whole picture is different and your world has a different tomorrow. |
Resiliency Projects
Developing resiliency is about developing capacity, projects are developed to drive this capacity development through education and grassroots outreach, combined with the development of partnerships that create, fund and implement mutually beneficial community projects around:
Capacity
Community capacity building is about promoting the ‘capacity’ of local communities to develop, implement and sustain their own solutions to problems in a way that helps them shape and exercise control over their physical, social, economic and cultural environments.
