Village Skill Share

Each month, we gather around the hearth of community to share simple ancestral skills, seasonal stories, and handmade traditions. These are not formal classes, just an open invitation to learn with each other, rooted in reciprocity, curiosity, and connection to the land.

Whether you're a seasoned wildcrafter or just dipping your toes into nature-based living, this is a space for all experience levels and all ages. Children are welcome with adult supervision.

Dates & Times: Every third Thursday | May - December, 2025
Location: Tyee Arts & Education Center, Mount Vernon, WA
Cost: Always free. Bring a friend, a craft, a story, or a dish to share.

Try your hand at bow drill friction fire and meet community members who love ancestral skills.

Celebrate the longest day of the year with an evening drum circle. Bring your own drum, shaker, or rattle to play.

It’s like summer camp, but for adults! We’ll practice nature awareness skills and play fun games in the forest.

Bring a carving project to work on while connecting with friends new and old while whittling wooden or bone tools.

Bring a dish made with local or foraged foods, swap vegetables, and share recipes to celebrate the end of summer and beginning of autumn.

Gather for a night of stealth and tracking games under the early evening sky.

Bring an ancestral dish or your loved one’s favorite food and share memories in the community.

Trade handmade, foraged, grown, or found items with others and celebrate the return of light.
