Possumstick Earthskills Gathering (Collaboration with Wild Beings)

POSSUMSTICK Earth Skills Gathering 🔥

Years in the making, we are finally bringing the embers of this vision to life. A five day earthskills gathering weaving together earth based skills & the culture these skills stem from. A space centred around learning, sharing & connection to our humanity through hand skills & community.

A family friendly gathering for all walks of life to come & immerse within the living skills of our land based ancestors. Learning from a range of instructors & facilitators.

Possumstick Earthskills Gathering is a five-day, land-based immersion into earthskills, bushcraft, ancestral skills, and traditional living skills held on beautiful private property surrounded by bluegums & a pristine creek on Guringai country.

Inspired by Rabbitstick Primitive Skills Gathering in the United States — a renowned earth skills gathering that has been running for over 30 years — Possumstick seeks to bring this deeply relational and skills-based culture to Australia. It is an invitation to remember, practise, and pass on earth-based ways of living that are grounded in respect for land, people, and place.

This gathering is an opportunity to bring to life our land based ancestral origins. The living skills that have shaped us as humans & the skills that bring us into intimate relationship with the land & our intrinsic place within it. A space for people to be reminded of what it is to truly be human.

Wild Roots Tasmania will be teaching possum skin traditional tanning and spinning/weaving with raw wool using drop spindles and frame looms.
