​​​​Between the Rivers Gathering
​May 27th -June 1st, 2019
​​
Primitive Skills for Self-Sufficiency
​

Northeastern Washington Ancestral Skills & Self-Sufficiency Gathering

Between the Rivers Gathering is a week-long workshop for learning skills that originate in the stone-age all the way up to modern homesteading.  We will have a multitude of instructors offering a broad-range of classes all week long.  Included will be wilderness survival skills of all kind, primitive and homespun living, basic preparedness and skills of a practical and archeological nature.

We offer hands-on classes in primitive 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.  Come join our community and experience for yourself what a primitive skills gathering is all about!

Warning: Attending Between the Rivers Gathering may change your life!
Many times 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 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
