What is a Primitive and Ancestral Skills Gathering?
There are many skills that our ancestors possessed, no matter where in the world they came from, that allowed us to be here today. All of our ancestors made fire, hunted and prepared food, crafted tools and containers, clothed themselves, and built shelters from the elements. They also made beautiful objects, sang songs together, listened to drums, played games, and sat around a fire telling stories or just reflecting on the day.
All of these things have been part of our human-ness for most of our time on Earth.
Once a year, we come together in a community to recall and relearn all of these skills, reconnect with the land and with each other, and remember how important sitting around a fire and sharing our experiences is to our well-being.
If you're human, you belong here!
We're excited you're here!
