The common arts got their name from the fact that they are ‘common’: skills by which everyone meets their basic, embodied needs in the world. We need to eat, have shelter, heal, trade, find our way around, and more in order to keep going. And yet, they are also UN-common today. We outsource many of these to others, trading money for goods and services. In so doing, we experience convenience, but we lose some baseline skills and proficiencies, as well as a deeply-rooted connection to the natural world and the orders of things. Join us to learn how to practice and integrate these (un)common arts into our everyday, common lives, and raise our children with them.
