Your Summit Experience Doesn’t Have to End
The Resilient Living Summit brought together people from all walks of life who share a common goal: becoming more prepared, capable, and self-reliant.
Over the course of the summit, we learned from experienced presenters, explored practical skills, shared our experiences, and discovered new ways to build resilience into our everyday lives.
But there’s only so much we can cover in one week.
What happens when you have a question about something you learned? When you’re ready to start that garden, tackle a new household project, or take the next step in preparing your family?
That’s where The Gathering Place comes in.
I’ve created a dedicated community where we can continue learning from one another, sharing our experiences, asking questions, and putting what we’ve learned into practice throughout the year.
You don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience to share, there’s a place for you here.
We’re Moving Beyond Facebook
Our Resilient Living Summit Facebook group is closing, but our community doesn’t have to end. We’re continuing the conversations, learning opportunities, and connections we started during the summit inside The Gathering Place.
As a thank-you for being part of the summit, I’m inviting you to join us for 14 days of complimentary access to our private community.
A Different Kind of Online Community
Less Scrolling. More Learning. Real Connections.
Facebook served its purpose during the summit, but important conversations can quickly get buried, helpful resources can be difficult to find, and constant advertisements and distractions can make it hard to focus. I wanted something different for our community.
That’s why The Gathering Place is hosted on Mighty Networks, a private platform designed to bring our discussions, workshops, classes, and resources together in one organized place.
Less Scrolling. More Learning. Real Connections.
Meaningful Conversations
Connect with people who share your interests, ask questions, exchange practical advice, and build lasting relationships.
Everything in One Place
Find workshops, classes, discussions, and downloadable resources without searching through endless social media posts.
A Private, Ad-Free Community
Spend your time learning and connecting without the advertisements and distractions of traditional social media.
- Spend your time learning and connecting without the advertisements and distractions of traditional social media.
- A community that continues all year
The Gathering Place doesn’t disappear when the summit ends. It’s a place to return to as you learn new skills and work on new projects.

Learn From People Who Live It
One of the things that made the Resilient Living Summit special was the opportunity to learn from people with real-world experience.
That same spirit continues inside The Gathering Place.
