Free Workshops
Rewild Camp (Portland)
I host a free, Open Space skill-share for rewilding on the last sunday of every month. For more info on that, please visit www.rewildportland.com.
Sunday Workshops
Aside from Rewild Camp I run a few Sunday workshops from time to time. Here is a list of my current offerings.
Fire by Friction
Come and learn the basics of fire by friction. I’ll also cover a little about cordage and stone tools as well, as they are involved with making a fire set from scratch in the wild. You’ll build a kit from materials I provide and get to take it home and practice.
Time investment: one 8 hour day
Cost: $25
Student limit: 10
Date: TBD
English Ivy Bike Baskets
This is a two day workshop with a gap of about a month to let the ivy dry. We will act as stewards pulling ivy from a local park and than use the remains to make baskets for our bikes.
Time investment: two 8 hour days (with a month between them)
Cost: $25
Student limit: 10
Date: TBD
Animal Tracking & Nature Observation
In this class I will cover the basics of animal tracking and nature observation. We will play with expanding our senses and learning how to look for animal signs.
Time investment: one 8 hour day
Cost: $25
Student limit: 10
Date: TBD
10 Edible Plants
I’ll take you on a trip to learn 10 common edible plants.
Time investment: one 8 hour day
Cost: $25
Student limit: 10
Date: TBD
Future Workshops:
Rewilding 101
This 10-week, college-like course covers the ecological, anthropological and psychological principles of rewilding. We’ll cover the ills of agricultural civilization and the benefits of indigenous horticulture. You’ll learn to articulate the invisible hierarchy and understand how to free yourself from its shackles. You’ll begin to understand the mental trauma and psychosis inflicted on us everyday and how to overcome them. This class will not teach you how to skin and butcher a deer or what native wild plants you can eat. You can learn wilderness survival skills in the U.S. Army, tracking with the U.S. Border Patrol, and you can put your knowledge of ethnobotany to work for Monsanto, but we all know we would not call any of these people rewilders. This class will give you the framework with which that knowledge becomes rewilding. In the right context, these skills will rescue you from this destructively insane culture. Come learn to build the framework for your rewilding culture.
The Art of Rewilding
This weeklong intensive builds on Rewilding 101 and puts many of the skills to work. Here, you will learn basic edible plants, fire-making, animal tracking among other “hard skills.” But again, the emphasis here is community building and communication skills.
