Workshop Log

2010 started off with a workshop on January 23. It was the first workshop at our new location: Sierra Crest Academy. We experimented with working with students and staff, to aid in setting up the workshop, gathering materials, and contacting community members to invite them to attend. The workshop was lots of fun. We learned three different methods of gardening during the winter: using a greenhouse, winter sowing, and starting seedlings indoors.

The Thriving Community was formed when a group of concerned Douglas County-ites started talking about the downward spiral of the economy, and how prepared the county is, not just to survive--but to THRIVE.

After a little research the group saw that Douglas County is far from ready for any kind of disaster. The group decided to host workshops to teach people how to be more self-sufficient and sustainable. The group endeavored to keep the workshops FUN, knowing that fear is the greatest enemy in an emergency situation.

The workshops aim to teach new methods of sustainability, while inspiring confidence to actually implement the methods into your everyday life. The workshops focus on looking at things differently. Most of the materials we use are items that were on their way to the landfill.

We are always looking for interesting items to reuse at the workshops. Please contact us if you have a pile of potential laying around! Not sure if this is for you? Take a look through our Workshop Log to see what we've done in the past, or just stop by! We won't bite!
