Life across Cascadia...
Survival! To us this word means connection to the land. It means that all your needs, and the needs of your village can be met and cared for by simply listening to and tending to the natural world. Survival is not about the People of Cascadia taking everything "right now," it is about us living by a harvest and design that takes the health of future generations into account. Survival is the new story and vision of sustainability.
The Cascadia Survival Guild takes you through a series of skills that are the human birthright. Knowing that "common sense is no longer common" You have a conversation with our land about how we live. Through the story learned, we invest in a relationship of family, one where all life is dependent on one another for survival.
This is the art of building your shelter with your own two hands, crafting your baskets from willows you tend to every year, asking the trees for fire (even with no matches) and revealing and caring for the water the we all drink to live.
This is the art of “keeping it living.

Traditional Wood BowmakingThe Cascadia Archers Guild takes you take you on a journey from raw bow staves to finished bow over the course of two weekends. Your first working bow is a rite of passage. It becomes a tool of skill, and possibly a one of life and death in the story of the great dance, of a real hunt and relationship with the wild around you. Or it becomes a work of artistry, a way to master centered body awareness. Your design and your inspiration, from your heart and the wood you craft it with. You start with a weekend. You come back after a couple of days and take it to the finished work. Who Ages 15-Adult |
