Buckskin Sewing - November

At Holistic Survival School we are committed to teaching nature and connection skills at the deepest level. Therefore, we are no longer offering, one-time weekend classes. Instead, all of our classes are part of a 9-month Immersion program called Deep Remembering.  This class is just one section of the entire program. Check out the link to learn moreAround the time the burdock plants store the energy from the past summer’s sun in their roots for the long winter, students will meet for our final class. 

With our bone needles, awls and tanned deer skins, students will learn the art of buckskin sewing and lacing in order to create something that represents their journey from the year. This sacred piece will represent all of their learning and hard work and they will carry it with them for years to come to help them to remember their journey.  Our modern-day lives can be stressful, hard, disconnected and full of grief. May this piece of our creation be so imbue with magic and connection that it serves as a touchstone for us when life becomes hard and imbalanced.
