Northeastern Washington State Ancestral Skills & Self-Sufficiency Gathering
Between the Rivers Gathering is a week-long educational workshop and intentional community for learning arts and skills that originate in the stone-age all the way up to modern homesteading. We are an annual event located in Washington State about an hour north of Spokane. We will have a multitude of instructors offering a broad range of classes all week long. Included will be wilderness survival skills of all kinds, living history, basic and homespun living, preparedness, and arts & skills of a practical and archeological nature.
We offer hands-on classes in ancestral arts, living and survival, and we also focus on the skills of self-sufficiency and sustainable living to minimize our impact on this planet we all share and help us gain confidence as we face the future. Come join our community and experience for yourself what it is all about!

Sometimes the old legends say it best:
"We do not go to the green woods and crystal waters to rough it, we go to smooth it. We get it rough enough at home; in towns and cities; in shops, offices, stores, banks—anywhere that we may be placed—with the necessity always present of being on time and up to our work; of providing for the dependent ones; of keeping up, catching up, or getting left. "Alas for the life-long battle, whose bravest slogan is bread." I am talking ... to those of the world's workers who go, or would like to go, every summer to the woods. And to these I would say, don't rough it; make it as smooth, as restful and pleasurable as you can." - Nessmuk That is our hope and dream that we can help all who attend to be able to make meaningful life changes that increase their skills, intensify their connection with the Earth and those who came before us, and improve their relationships with others. It is all about deeper connections! "Primitive skills are our shared inheritance. It is the shared thread which links us to our prehistory and binds us together as human beings." -Steve Watts Come and experience the entire week with us! To register click here.
