Buckeye: April 28 ~ May 4, 2024

 


In all of our histories are ancestors who crafted by the rhythm of the seasons and generations.  Buckeye is a gathering for collective reinvigoration of place-based lifeways.

 

We invite you to join us this coming Spring as we gather again to learn to integrate older ways, to begin to fathom what a village might be like for us today, and to see where inspiration takes us!

A Family Oriented All-inclusive Event

We encourage a family-oriented, all-ages event that emphasizes skills and materials indigenous to California, while welcoming talents from all over the map as well. Choose from a wide range of classes every day; enjoy the fire and activities together at night; share food, song & dance. The main fire is our camp central, with field and forest for camping in tipis, tents, vehicles, and under the stars.
