We’re looking for people who are excited to share skills, knowledge, and lived experience around alternative living and self-sufficiency.
Our core focus areas include:
-
homesteading
-
alternative energy
-
holistic health and wellness
-
preparedness and resilience
-
tiny homes and small living
-
alternative or non-traditional building options
​
This can include (but is not limited to!) food production and preservation, herbalism and natural remedies, off-grid or sustainable energy systems, emergency preparedness, self-reliant living practices, natural construction, vehicle conversions, and other creative ways of living differently.
​
Whether your knowledge comes from professional work, hands-on experience, or personal study, if you have something that can help others live more resilient, intentional, and connected lives, we’d love to have you join us as a speaker or demonstrator.
