Buckeye: April 30 ~ May 6, 2023
Registration opens on March 4.
What we offer has not always been known as ‘Ancestral Skills’, ‘Wilderness Survival’, ‘Primitive Technology’ or ‘Earth Living’. At one time it was simply LIFE. In all of our histories are ancestors who crafted by the rhythm of the seasons and generations.
We were inspired to begin this gathering by the longstanding contemporary community that has been rediscovering this legacy and innovating for decades before us. 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.
