November Rewild Camp 2009

Hey Friends! Your pal Urban Scout here.

Join me for the next Rewild Camp Portland, which happens every last Sunday of the month from morning to afternoon. Enjoy a laid back rewilding skill-sharing and craft time with old and new friends. If you’ve got a skill you want to share or a craft you’re going to work on, leave it in the comments section of this event. If there is a rewilding topic or skill you want to learn about, put it in the comments section and let us know! Example topics might be, archery, bow-drill fires, nettle cordage, english ivy baskets, story games, language games, martial arts, herbal medicine, discussions about the ills of agriculture and how our ancestors tended the wild in a sustainable way, etc. Bring a rewilding craft project and/or learn what others are up to.

Date: Sunday, November 29, 2009
Time: 10:00am – 5:00pm
Location: Colonel Summers Park

This month we will be at Colonel Summers Park on SE Belmont and 20th. There is a shelter there we will most likely utilize. For more on the park:

Stuff To Bring:
• Raw materials for your project
• If you plan to be there all day, a sack lunch is appropriate.
• Water
• Snacks (to share?)
• A carving knife
• A bandanna
• Dress for variations in the weather (cold and rainy!)
• A chair or something to sit on

This is an all inclusive space for people of all types of abilities and backgrounds to learn and share with each other. Please be aware of oppressive language (this includes body language) and if you are the type of person who talks a lot step back more and if you don’t talk a lot step up more so that it feels safe and balanced for everyone.

Please bring any materials you need for your project. The park does not allow harvesting of any material and we want to make nice with the park people if they are there. 🙂

This event may be documented with digital media to be used online (www.rewild.info) for the purpose of inspiring others to run a rewild camp in their own locale. If you don’t wish your face to be filmed or photographed, please bring a bandanna to wear, or simply step out of the way of my camera (I will let you know if I plan to snap a photo).

Please RSVP in the comments below, including a skill you may be working on, or one you would like others to share with you. Thanks, and we’ll see you there!
