Join the Movement
We Built a Tool!
When social media first emerged, it revolutionized the way we connect, enabling us to reconnect with old friends and sparking significant movements like the Arab Spring. However, over time, its effectiveness has diminished, leaving many to wonder how to regain that sense of community and purpose. Recognizing the need for meaningful connection, we have taken the initiative to build our own platform on Mighty Networks. This innovative space aims to foster the same level of connectivity and engagement that initially drew us to social media. Through this page, we invite you to explore and join us in utilizing this valuable tool, designed to bridge gaps and create a supportive network for all those we work with. Together, we can revive the spirit of connection that social media once promised.
Change
Change is an inevitable part of life, often unfolding gradually through the connections we forge with one another.
Each small step we take, each conversation we engage in, contributes to a larger movement toward transformation. As individuals reach their tipping points, the collective momentum of our relationships accelerates the process of change.
The speed at which this evolution occurs relies on our willingness to engage and participate actively. By choosing to get involved, we can influence the pace of progress and help foster a more profound impact in our communities.
Together, we have the power to catalyze change, demonstrating that every action, no matter how small, can spark a ripple effect of transformation.
Paths to Engagement
Embarking on a journey of a thousand miles truly begins with a single step, as Lao Tzu wisely noted. In our present endeavor, action is imperative; waiting is simply not an option. We must take that first step right here in our neighborhood, fostering success from the ground up. By creating a foundation of achievements, we can develop strategies that resonate within our community. Sharing our insights on what made our efforts successful will empower others to join us in this journey. Together, we will cultivate a supportive cultural framework that nurtures growth and collaboration, ultimately leading to a thriving environment for everyone involved.
Let’s embrace this opportunity and move forward with determination and unity.

Events
At our organization, we prioritize community engagement and connection, hosting several events throughout the year. Be sure to check our calendar to stay updated on upcoming activities! We are proud to participate in meaningful events such as the Kitsap 911 Memorial and the Sustainability Festival in Tacoma, where we connect with local residents and promote important causes. Additionally, we frequently attend local resource fairs to provide valuable information and support. Our commitment to fostering neighborhood spirit shines through at our block parties, where we bring people together over delicious grilled burgers and hot dogs, as well as during our work parties dedicated to maintaining and enhancing neighborhood gardens. Join us in celebrating and strengthening our community!
Stone Soup
Stone Soup is a cherished annual event that embodies the spirit of community development. To participate, attendees simply bring an ingredient for the communal soup, fostering a sense of collaboration and generosity. Local chefs skillfully transform these contributions into delicious soups for everyone to enjoy, showcasing their culinary talents and creativity. In addition to the culinary delights, the event features informative tables designed to educate participants about community initiatives and resources. A highlight of the occasion is the recognition of community champions, individuals who have made a significant impact throughout the year. Join us on January 10th, 2025, for this inspiring gathering that not only nourishes the body but also strengthens the bonds within our community. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
Workshops
In our journey toward building resilient and connected communities, we confront the profound truth that our cultural programming often leads us to work against our own interests, even in our desire for connection. Unlearning these ingrained behaviors is a challenging but essential process. Our workshops are designed to facilitate this transformation, offering evolving insights and practical tools that empower individuals to shift their perspectives. By engaging with one another and sharing experiences, participants can cultivate the skills necessary to break free from limiting beliefs and foster genuine community ties. Together, we can navigate the complexities of our societal frameworks and create supportive environments where everyone thrives. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey toward a more connected and resilient future.

Collaborations
How you can support the work?
At Resilient Ecosystems, we recognized the pitfalls of chasing funding at the expense of our core mission early on. Many non-profits fall into the trap of prioritizing financial support over their foundational goals, which can ultimately undermine their purpose. To counter this, we made a conscious choice to self-fund our initiatives primarily through direct donations, simultaneously cultivating a network of subscribers who benefit from our work. This approach not only empowers us to stay true to our mission but also enables us to expand our efforts and increase our impact. By focusing on sustainable funding sources, we can maintain our commitment to creating resilient ecosystems while fostering a growing community of support.
At Patreon, we have chosen a unique approach to subscription support that focuses solely on the value of the work you are backing. While we do not provide merchandise or exclusive content on this platform, our gratitude is expressed through the quality and dedication we put into the projects you are helping to bring to life.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey!
