This workshop is about approaches to wild living, exploring both practical skills and worldviews. Traditional practices of gleaning, foraging and wild gardening are being rediscovered and redesigned. Learning these life-sustaining skills shows that there are so many wild foods and resources available around us! This leads us to consider lives of exploration, movement and wildness versus lives of settlement and domesticity.
These are precarious times indeed. They ask us to skill-up for survival. What can be cultivated and harvested both physically and metaphorically? How do meeting our core needs and the needs of community relate to wildness and wild food? Join us as we creatively explore the bounty available to us through foraging, gleaning and wild gardening – for survival and joy!
