Hi, all!

This is a weird idea, or a good idea, maybe. I was wondering how we could have a place where we can share skills, especially traditional such as homesteading, crafting, earth and plant based... Ceramics, natural building, land stewardship and healthy nutrition (from "seed" to stomach )... Duh the list goes on, and could include massage, milling wood, carving and woodworking and joinery. Including cooking techniques from around the world, or wherever, could be nice and fun and valuable; singing, building hammocks and ponds and natural swimming pools, and treehouses. The idea is essentially creating a place (finding land) where this community could exist and artisans, experts, teachers could come and learn from each other, one another, ourselves. I think it would be in my mind a place where a mecca of ongoing workshops exist.

Yes, I thought the same thing, after posting! I was really imagining a physical place where hands on activities could be practiced... Thanks for your reply!

It would be lovely wouldn't it? Paul does quite a bit at wheaton labs of course, but since I'm the wrong side of the Altantic for that, I just do my own things here and get inspiration from the forums.

I love that! I'm so curious, where you are, what all you enjoy (doing and learning). Thanks for your reply above. Good to hear! yes, that is curious, I was thinking of going out to Montana, it is pretty cool the labs and creative they have going... 🐝🐝🐝
