Ancestral Skills for a Sustainable Modern Life
At Forgotten Skillz, we host a diverse array of hands-on workshops and events designed to revive and teach essential skills from the past that are incredibly relevant to modern life. Our events range from wilderness survival techniques, like fire-making and foraging, to traditional crafts such as basket weaving, soap making, and leatherworking. We believe that understanding and practicing these time-honored skills can empower individuals to lead more self-sufficient and sustainable lives, fostering a deeper connection with nature and our heritage.
Join us at the CEED Winter Solstice Festival for Scented Stories: The Tale of the Winter Wait, where storytelling, incense-making, and ancestral traditions celebrate resilience and the return of light.
