What if it breaks?
Global warming, war, economic instability, and shifting geopolitics show us how fragile our modern lifestyle really is. “What if it breaks?” is a workshop that helps you prepare mentally and practically for unexpected disruption. Instead of waiting for the next crisis, we explore resilience strategies, from self-reliance and local solutions to mindset and adaptability. This workshop is not about fear but about empowerment: gaining tools, skills, and confidence to navigate uncertainty. Whether it’s food, energy, or community, you’ll learn how to prepare for challenges and build a more secure and sustainable way of living.
What if it breaks?
Recent years have made one thing very clear: our way of living is not as stable as we once thought. Global warming, wars, energy crises, inflation, pandemics, and geopolitical upheavals have shown just how interconnected and vulnerable our systems are. What happens if the power goes out for a week? If supply chains break? If the economy shifts overnight? “What if it breaks?” is a workshop designed to ask these uncomfortable but essential questions and to give you practical tools and insights to prepare for them.
This is not a workshop about doom and gloom. It’s about resilience, empowerment, and finding constructive ways to adapt when the world around us becomes uncertain. We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know that skills, creativity, and community matter more than ever. Through a mix of discussion, hands-on practice, and real-world examples, we explore how to prepare without falling into fear or helplessness.
During the workshop, we will touch on several key themes: - Food and water security; how to grow, store, and source essentials locally. - Energy resilience; from low-tech heating and lighting to renewable options. - Practical skills; repair, improvisation, and making do with what’s at hand. - Mental resilience; how to stay calm, clear-headed, and constructive under stress. - Community and cooperation; why resilience is stronger when shared.
We also reflect on historical and cultural lessons, how people lived, adapted, and thrived before hyper-connected global systems became the norm. These stories show us that alternative ways of living are not only possible but deeply enriching. The goal is not to retreat into survivalism but to design a lifestyle that is both robust and fulfilling, no matter what the external circumstances may be.
Whether you’re already interested in self-reliance, or simply want to feel more secure in uncertain times, this workshop will give you practical ideas and a fresh perspective. You will leave with a deeper understanding of what resilience means—both in practical terms and in mindset and how to apply it in your everyday life. “What if it breaks?” is about turning fear into readiness, and uncertainty into opportunity.
