Anna Axisa – Author Talk – Stories behind the storyteller

Saturday December 9, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Port Macquarie Library
32 Grant St
Port Macquarie, New South Wales 2444 Australia

Please join us in welcoming Anna Axisa to our Port Macquarie Library on Saturday 9th December at 10.30am.

Anna shares how we can enjoy a homesteading lifestyle no matter where we live.

When Anna and her family embarked on their off-grid journey toward self-sufficiency, they knew it would be a challenging adventure. What they didn’t expect was how a sudden, serious health diagnosis would lead them in a positive new direction.

Anna’s own personal experiences reflect how some simple lifestyle changes can have a huge impact on your health and well-being – and the future of our fragile environment.

HOMEGROWN HEALTHY LIVING 

Start living your homesteading dream today and create a resilient, regenerative and healthy life you don’t want to move from.

Homegrown Healthy Living is the story of a family’s unique, off-grid health adventure as they share the ups and downs of creating our mountainside permaculture homestead. It’s packed with delicious, easy-to-follow recipes and projects, and enlivened with gentle humour and inspirational stories of challenges overcome.
