Resilience: the ability to withstand and/or bounce back from shock or disruption.
The Resilience Hub is a nonprofit organization dedicated to regenerating land, growing healthy food, and building strong, resilient communities. We host and organize educational workshops, permaculture design courses, and Permablitz work parties in greater Portland and around the state of Maine.
