Resilience is not only built in big events — it is woven into everyday life. Simple rituals, like neighbourhood check-ins, a monthly training morning, an annual ‘preparation’ day, or regular shared meals, embed resilience as habit. These small, repeated actions make adaptation second nature. Rituals also sustain culture. They remind people of their interdependence and provide rhythms that hold communities steady when disruption strikes. Communities that practise resilience daily are more confident and capable when change arrives. Resilience grows when rituals are part of ordinary routines, not reserved for emergencies.
