Walking in sequences has its own intelligence, its own timing.

Grace.

Changing the Story
Lis Bastian talks about community projects and what helped her to stop and recharge after the fires, floods and Covid in 2020. Lis helped establish The Big Fix, a registered charity in the Blue Mountains, NSW. In her work she develops and shares collaborative models for living. She works with with artists and storytellers to creatively redesign media, education, work and to consider how communities connect. The Big Fix is an umbrella organisation for The Big Fix Media, Blue Mountains Pluriversity, Edgy Blue Mountains (a Collaborative Social Enterprise Incubator), Blackheath Community Farm and the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute. I acknowledge the Darkinjung, Darug, Dharawal, Gundungurra, Wanaruah and the Wiradjuri peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area; and pay respect to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging, recognising their strength, capacity, resilience and deep connection to Country.
