Buckskin Revolution Online Skills Gathering
(
Ancestral Skills Gatherings are where I got my start in a lot of the skills I teach today, and remain an important part of how I share them with the world. With all gatherings in the spring and summer of 2020 cancelled, I have been hard at work coming up with a way to bring the skills to the people, as they can no longer come to the skills. My solution is:
The Buckskin Revolution Online Skills Gathering (Registration now closed, but sign up for the mailing list to hear about the next one.)
The immersive (full week of classes with daily interactive evening circles) happened the first week of June 2020 and was a tremendous success!
The ongoing gathering options, designed with more flexible timing to fit busier schedules, are still ongoing and I have opened registration back up for the 10 week version because it has been too wonderful to not continue sharing! With regular interactive zoom calls and a private facebook group with regular discussion about class materials, and homework prompts to keep you motivated, there are a lot of ways to really take these skills home and integrate them into your life.
On-going Gathering Options: Beginning June 1, 2020
It isn't too late to catch up with the students in the 10 week gathering. When you sign up you'll receive the link to all of the classes that have already been released and then continue to receive half a day of classes per week until we wrap up the first week of August.
Scheduling: Classes are pre-recorded. While there is a weekly class list and suggested viewing order, links to the classes will be active for several weeks after they go on-line. Watching them shortly after they are released means you will be able to ask questions and get more out of our Zoom Circles, but they are open to all regardless of where you are in the classes and you are welcome to watch and rewatch the classes according to your own schedule.
Themes and Classes
The courses are arranged similar to those at skills gatherings, with basics early on and more advanced and complex themes as the week continues. Material lists will be sent after registering, and a detailed suggested class schedule every Sunday before that weeks classes.
