I posted this question on Facebook recently and got back some great answers. Here’s a few:
- Learning some homesteading skills.
- Writing poetry, prose and music about/with the revelations and lessons of collapse.
- Participating in collapse support groups.
- Witnessing and reporting
- Trying to be present and enjoy what the now has.
- Starting an intentional living community to weather the storms to come.
- Living off grid & teaching others what I can, learning tons from all the folks who stop through.
- Trying to live in gratitude for this life we live.
- Witnessing, grieving, dissolving my attachments, and learning to need little.
- Trying to guide people in valuing human connection and interdependence over the myth of rugged individualism, on the belief that human beings will still need community post-collapse, and it will need to look different than a lot of what we’ve been doing.
- Avoiding doom rhetoric and sharing restructuring solutions.
- Being more compassionate with others who are not collapse aware.
- Scattering wild flower seeds.
- I find myself giving out more money to homeless people.
- Trying to figure out growing our own food in a restricted and ever changing environment.
These positive responses really lifted my mood. Thanks to all who responded.
