The Journey
Perspective
At every point, we work to help people gain a wider and deeper perspective allowing them to see beyond the moment of crisis to the possibilities. This allows them to begin to see the commonalities with other people instead of the differences our culture teaches us to focus on.

Understanding
We are all a product of our cultural indoctrination and need to unlearn some key programming in order to take in the new information required to question, see, connect and communicate, creating the furrows in which a grassroots community building effort can grow.

Together
We are taught from early on that we are alone, and to a great degree we are, but not as alone as our cultural programming leads us to believe. Our culture is a construct, a social contract, that has been programmed for centuries to favor the few. Together we can reprogram it to favor humanity as a whole. First we must embrace working together.

Learning, Connecting, Engaging
The point in which social change occurs is when approximately 20% of the people are already engaged in the practice. Government normalizes the behavior when somewhere between 60% and 75% are engaging in the behavior. That said, if you want significant social change to happen in a limited timeframe, you need to convince 20% of the people to engage in the process...
Of course the wheels come off when you are thinking in terms of global scales, although it is very effective on local levels.
The changes proposed by the Kitsap Resiliency Project can, over time, be adopted on a global scale but need to succeed on a local level and be based on commonalities and values that are easily agreed upon.

Factors - tipping points
We focus on the development of community resilience, which are the basics of food security, communication, neighborhood support, water, and power. The real winner that gets folks on board are the jobs and local industry developed along the way. The final factor is time; this does not happen overnight... the Kitsap Resiliency Project is a decade long effort.

Your Passport
Welcome to your point of demarcation!
From here you take your first steps on a journey to resilience, and on each point on your journey you get a stamp in your passport to mark the milestone reached.
It all starts with a single step on your own, a beginning. Along the way you will meet others to journey with, you will even circle back to your friends and family, your neighbors and community. When you do, you will build stronger, more resilient connections and a stronger community. This journey is about finding personal resilience through rediscovering the strength of our humanity and then developing relationships and community based on our joint humanity.

There are twelve stamps currently made for your journey:
There are sixteen boxes for stamps in this version of the Passport. This is because we expect people to come up with things we did not think of as we move forward.
- Shockwave: Understanding the needs can help drive the process, learning the benefits and more so!
- Workshops 1-3: A history of our culture and how we got where we are; we feel it is important to understand this in order to have context.
- Workshops 4-5: Unlearning and critical thinking, learning to ask the next question.
- Workshops 6-8: Fundamentals of humanity, understanding what being human means, humans are far more in every way than we generally believe them to be.
- Workshops 9-12: Relationships, community and grassroots; organizing, finding common ground, core values, skill development and building your network.
- CERT training: Going through Citizen Emergency Response Team training is a good way to get an overview of what disaster response will look like.
