Free Monthly Skill Shares — seasonal gatherings to practice ancestral skills, share food and crafts, and build community.
About this Event

Come as you are. Bring Your Heart & Curiosity.
Let’s reweave the village.

Each month, we gather around the hearth of community to share simple ancestral skills, seasonal stories, and handmade traditions. These are not formal classes, just an open invitation to learn with each other, rooted in reciprocity, curiosity, and connection to the land.

Whether you're a seasoned wildcrafter or just dipping your toes into nature-based living, this is a space for all experience levels and all ages. Children are welcome with adult supervision.


Dates & Times: Every third Thursday | May - December, 2025
Location: Tyee Arts & Education Center, Mount Vernon, WA
Cost: Always free. Bring a friend, a craft, a story, or a dish to share.
