Volcano Art Center is pleased to offer its very first live stream online workshop. Zach Mermel of Ola Design Group will teach the first in a series of virtual workshops, Emerge and See: Resilience Strategies for Pandemics and Beyond, from 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday, April 25.

Concerned about your family’s wellbeing in these interesting times? Join us in this three-part online series utilizing the Zoom video conferencing platform as we delve into the practicalities of resilience, using time tested techniques from permaculture, Pacific island wisdom and sustainable agriculture.

Whether you reside on a rural homestead or in an apartment complex, there is an array of options to increase self-reliance for yourself, your loved ones, and our larger community. Topics for Part 1: Food Resilience, will include resilience self-assessment, fast food production strategies, nutrient-dense fruits/vegetables, immune-supporting protocols, edible wild plants and more. An information packet of handouts and resources, including the Zoom PowerPoint slides, will be emailed to all participants.

The cost of this workshop is $35/$30 VAC members. Those who register online through Volcano Art Center’s website will be sent an email with instructions on how to join the live stream workshop online via Zoom. For more information and to register, visit www.volcanoartcenter.org.
