With our food sources becoming increasingly globalised and centralised, we're losing access to healthy, fresh food that's grown locally. We're all too familiar with the impacts of bush fires, floods and the pandemic on accessing food that's from the local region. Once roads become blocked or borders closed, the impacts on the supply chains are visible within a couple of days on our supermarket shelves.

Empty shops is a strong indication that most of the food consumed here is trucked in from outside our region. We shouldn't be this vulnerable to economic, environmental or political challenges that will keep coming - especially as we live in such a fertile region.

We're eternally grateful to our farmers' markets that have been the one reliable source of food for our region, but they only supply a small fraction of our population.

Let's come together to explore the many options available to us to support the growth and production of food in this region. Together we can make our local food system resilient and abundant!

Monthly Locals Connect - Shared Dinner

Come and meet heartful like minded members of the community. Every new connection helps stregthen our local economy based in relational values rather than purely transactional - a more resilient cohesive community.

Weekly Peer Coaching Circle

A genuinely supportive virtuous feedback loop between a small group (4~6) of participants. An initiative of Jason Lasky from Relocalise Northern Rivers, this is an invitation to join a small weekly group to hear one member present their personal "case" or current challenge, while members provide feedback in a structured 70 minute process developed by Theory U.

The case can be personal development, a business or project. The process enhances presence & constructive feedback. Over the course of 6 weeks every member will have a turn in presenting & receiving support.

Peer coaching is free and conducted online (or in person). Join Jason's next coaching circle on Wednesdays at 5:30pm for a 70 min online session. Apply to express your interest & receive a session link.
