Step back into a world where hands met earth, stories filled the air, and life was learned by doing. The Lost Skills Gathering is a one-day, hands-on festival where talented elders and artisans teach the skills, crafts, traditions, and self-sufficient ways our grandparents once used to thrive.
Together, we breathe life into precious knowledge before it’s forgotten — preserving connection, resilience, and the wisdom that sustains and preserves. The Lost Skills Gathering transforms one unforgettable day into a celebration of tradition, resilience, and hands-on learning.
Haven’t you ever wished you could learn the skills your grandparents once used to thrive? In this one-day gathering, elders will share their wisdom through stories, hands-on instruction, and live demonstrations of 50+ timeless skills — from craftwork to homesteading to self-sufficiency.
Set within a beautiful botanical garden, the festival becomes a living classroom where knowledge preservation, community connection, and resilience come to life.
