For most of our ancestral heritage, humans have benefited from a deep and unwavering connection to our planet. In living close to the land, one cannot help but understand our dependency upon the earth, and it's seasons and cycles. Primitive skills help us to embrace our roots and give us an opportunity to understand the history of our human species. By learning about the earth, it's plants and animals, and how we can interact with them, we can gain a new sense of self-reliance and a new perspective on the world around us. In a world marked by instant gratification and a "me" society, primitive skills teach us to slow down, to embrace the process, and to understand the connection between all things.

Join Luke Foley and The Frontier School for a one-day workshop for teens ages 12-16.
