about

join us on a 24-hour bushcraft skillshare for the queer community, on june 20-21.

together, we will explore skills for being in a more-than-human world. think foraging, navigation skills, tracking, shelter building, listening, fire making, tree climbing, camouflage-as-drag and building interspecies friendships.

grounded in ecofeminist thinking, we want to reclaim bushcraft — often dominated by cis men — from a QINTAW* perspective, centering care, interdependence and collective survival skills.

this is a skillshare: we aim to center the programme around skills participants would like to learn and/or share.


*queer, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender persons and women
