The Resilient Life

The Resilient Life is an ongoing project devised by a group of friends who share a particular philosophy on living:

Being resilient is not just about being creative in the kitchen or having your own garden or homestead, it’s about how to apply a more resourceful attitude to living.

Firstly, it’s about practising those mundane, every-day routines through a sense of ritual and meditation, i.e., mindfully preparing food, doing the washing up, cleaning, dressing, walking, driving etc. We see it as evolving from fast-track living, rushing mindlessly through life without acknowledging the here and now, staying in the moment and being present.

This fundamental grounding is where the roots of personal resilience grow, allowing you to ultimately bend and flow with the winds and tides, just like the wise willow tree does.
