For most of our human history, people gathered around fires to share stories, pass on knowledge, make things with their hands and learn the skills needed to live well on the land.

Possumstick Earth Skills Gathering is an invitation into the simple things that truly make us human.

​

Over five days, we come together as a village to learn, practice, and celebrate the skills that connect us to the natural world and to one another. Camped together on beautiful land, participants will have the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of instructors sharing earth skills, bushcraft, traditional crafts, and folk knowledge through hands-on workshops and demonstrations.

​

Rather than simply teaching techniques, this gathering is about keeping alive a culture of learning, sharing, and connection. It is a place where skills are passed from hand to hand, stories are exchanged around the fire, and people of all ages can experience a slower, more grounded way of being.

Throughout the gathering, participants can choose from a range of workshops exploring traditional and nature-based skills. Between classes, there is time to wander camp, meet new friends, work on projects, sit by the fire, and enjoy the simple rhythm of outdoor living.

Each evening we gather for a communal dinner, sharing food, conversation, music, and laughter as the day winds down and the firelight draws us together.

Families are welcomed. There will be a kids rewilding space set up each morning for young ones to have their own engagement with the land.

 

Come camp beneath the stars, learn from skilled teachers, share meals around the fire, and be part of a growing culture of rewilding.
