Donation based class: Intro to Rewilding / Plant walk

Join us for this free, early spring nature walk! Spring is just starting to emerge from the wintery depths and maybe you feel that same way in your body!

Join me, Luke McLaughlin (founder of HoSS) in this short rewilding introduction and plant walk. During our time together we will be talking about rewilding and "holistic survival", a.k.a. how humans can emotionally, physically, and spiritually survive these modern times.

After our brief talk and introduction we will take a little walk in the woods and get introduced to a few plant, fungi and animal friends.

Come on out and meet some friends both human and non-human

LOCATION: Haw Creek Commons, 311 Old Haw Creek Road · Asheville, NC

Time: 5:30 -7:30 PM

Donations are welcome but not required

2.3 million years ago, two of our human ancestors sat in a cave in eastern Africa and flint knapped stone by firelight. Their flakes of stone fell off into the fire and left evidence for us of some of the earliest known flint knapping in the world. Since then, humans relied on flint and other high-siliica content rocks for their survival. So much so that we don’t have the physical ability to cut and tear into plants and animals without tools! Our bodies are built upon this rich history of lithics and there is physical and emotional “medicine” in learning the art of flint knapping
