Welcome to the Resilent Households page for Northfield! Our purpose is to:
-
Develop personal, household, and community resiliency through book, article, and short film discussions
-
Create a supportive group for people who are exploring new thinking and skills for an unknown future
-
Educate the Northfield community about transition topics in a face-to-face, in-depth club format.
Unfortunately, the Resilient Households groups are no longer meeting; this page remains as a partial record of what we did.
