HEART: Spiritual Development for Families

Currently, there is desire to gather and counsel on topics of strengthening and healing our families. These are part of the spiritual side of self-reliance, and include such topics as:

  • Forging Living Bonds through Family History
  • Drawing on the Powers of Heaven & Solid Personal Revelation
  • Preventing and Healing from Addictions
  • Self-Governance for Families
  • Coming Unto Christ
  • Grief Counseling
  • Healthy Media in a Digital Age
  • Family Mission/Vision/Council
  • Strengthening Marriages

MIGHT: Leveled Provident Living Topics

At the same time, parents and youth are feeling the pull to expand further and deeper into physical self-reliance skills, aka georgics. We use a leveled approach which takes the same topic and creates classes for all ages and stages, preschool to professional. These are hands-on topics offered as school classes and public workshops. Here are a few examples:

  • Home Food Production- Garden, Orchards, Greenhouse, Harvest & Preservation
  • Natural Beekeeping
  • Cooking: Conventional & Off-Grid
  • Construction & Carpentry
  • Textile Arts- Sewing, Embroidery
  • Self & Home Defense
  • Wilderness Skills & First Aid
