Wed, 22 Aug 2007 00:24:37 +0000 http://www.rewildportland.com/urbanscout-archive/?p=137#comment-7089 [...] During the Portland Rewild Camp I felt anxiety about the ever-approaching nuclear disaster in Portland referred to as “Operation Noble Resolve.” Luckily Penny Scout; tracker of plants, showed me the great calming effects of Lemon Balm, a familiar friend you can find in practically anyones yard here in Portland. Doing my research on the plant, I found out that not only does it relieve you of anxiety and stomach craps but also works great for those who’ve acquired some civilized “fuck buddies,” …If you know what I mean.

We prepped by soliciting food donations from local businesses. In case you don’t know, this was a free, open-space event, a primitive skills anti-school, organized by Urban Scout and made possible by everyone who attended. The way it works is people put up workshops they want to teach or discussions they want to lead on a marketplace, a board with times and places, and you sit back and see who shows up. For example, I led a successful class on tincture making across from the archery range. I didn’t teach anything else formally, but found I was able to contribute lots to the event. I do know things! I am useful! I noticed this happening not only for myself but among everyone. This sharing of knowledge rather than formal teacher student relations resulted in the feeling that we were “just hanging out”. The plan now is to turn our lives into an ongoing Rewild camp.
