On-line Courses and Gatherings
The onset of the Corona pandemic inspired me to create a whole new way of teaching and sharing the skills I am so passionate about. The result was the Buckskin Revolution Academy, an online learning academy including both short courses and interactive online gatherings incorporating a wide range of skills.
While originally begun as a way to meet the immediate needs of the time, I now see it as a very important way to provide quality instruction and skills support to a broad range of people for whom the travel or expense of in person courses would be limiting.
The B.R.A. currently offers 2 single subject short courses- available year round, and a yearly seasonal gathering that runs for 6 weeks, with more focus on community engagement and sharing the learning journey in the context of a larger group of students with similar interests. I hope to add more short course offerings over time.

Buckskin Revolution Circle, an online nature connection and land based skills community
The Buckskin Revolution Circle grew out of my online courses as a way to create a community that fostered learning and connection between students. It has grown into something greater, and is now an ongoing community of folks interested in land based skills and nature connection where members post projects, ask questions, have the ability to schedule group calls on particular subjects, and more.
Membership in the BR Circle comes with enrollment in the online gatherings and particular courses, as well as with some levels of patreon membership.
If you would like to meet and interact with folks with similar interests and feel a part of a greater skills community, this might be the place for you.

Books
I am working on finishing my nearly complete book on sewing with buckskin and I hope to have this book available in the near future, but it is an increasing unpredictable world these days. Joining the mailing list is the best way to stay in the loop about this and other writing projects
