Join Us!

Learning, sharing in the Old Ways of being human.


Fire for the People.

This is the third in a 4-weekend series (March, June, September and December 2024) going over the sacred 4 elements of survival: Shelter - Water - Fire - Food.

Join us for the third weekend in our workshop series dedicated to the Sacred Order of survival.

Building a relationship and skills with fire is a way to connect with the land, through caretaking, ceremony and basic wilderness living. Our main focus will be the bow-drill method of friction fire; however, this one skill will lead us through many layers of skill and awareness on the land. Other topics include: safe/efficient knife skills, campfire safety, cooking and caretaking.

The skills of survival are a doorway to the Earth. The skills give an opportunity to take away fear and create a sense of home and the tools to build relationship with the Earth.

At 4EEE our focus is teaching youth—our youth are raised by Parents, family, and the community. We teach and share through experience of survival skills and running Programs here and abroad for over 30 Years; we are blessed to have a land base in partnership with the Siakumne Tribe. We have been asked to offer programs specifically for adults, and we see the need to educate adults in the community.

Arrival: 9am Saturday (optional arrival after 5pm Friday for overnight camping)

Departure: 12pm Sunday

Participants will camp overnight and provide all their own meals. (See recommended gear list below.) You will have access to an outdoor kitchen and fire. Please bring your own cooler if needed for food storage. Outdoor shower and porta-potties are available on-site.
