🐑 ~ Sheepskin drop ~ 🐑 I’ve been tanning 🐑 ~ Sheepskin drop ~ 🐑 I’ve been tanning away this winter in between online skills offerings and grad school (!). I’m going to post pics of new sheepskins available for sale + shipping next week. The sheepskins are a mix of Icelandics, like this one here, and Romneys, which all have fleeces of brown and chestnut. 📸 by Christel @fermefiolafarm. Check out Christel’s beautiful farm in Treaty 1 territory, where some of these hides were tanned. Thanks for your hospitality in lending your space and tending fire! . . . . . #sheepskin #handmade #naturalhidetanning #hidetanning #bushcraft #oldways #sheepskintanning #sheepofinstagram #homedecor #cozyhome
Put your faith in the two inches of humus That gr Put your faith in the two inches of humus That grows beneath the trees Every thousand years ~ Wendell Berry The Mad Farmer Liberation Front In Ecology we observe ecosystems through the lens of Adaptive Cycles, where change is the messenger of cyclical time. Change is episodic: not only gradual and not only chaotic but both in turn, and sometimes simultaneously. The Adaptive Cycle starts with rapid growth, which becomes stability, which moves to revolt, and changes again to reorganization. So when spring arrives, there is rapid growth; stability during summertime; revolt (aka release) as fruit turns to seed in autumn; and reorganization over winter. A new cycle will never be the exact same as the previous one, and its quality depends largely on what happened in that previous cycle. Was it set up for lushness, or scarcity? For diversity, or monoculture? For temperance, or extremism? Integral Ecology maps onto human culture and the social ecosystems in which we navigate cycles. What we do during times of rapid growth and stability lays the groundwork for revolt/release and reorganization. Did we engage in mutual aid? Did we practice horizontal organizing? Did we heal trauma? Did we learn new skills? Ecologically speaking, choices create potential. We might not see the changes that our actions usher in, but we create the potential that comes after us. . . . . . #ecojustice #integralecology #nature #queersoutdoors #environmentaljustice #ecofuturism #sustainability #sustainable #closedloopsystem #environmentalmovement #environmentaleducator #climatejustice #ecoeducator #integralecology #panarchy
“The breathing, sensing body draws its very subs “The breathing, sensing body draws its very substance from the soils, plants, elements that surround it; it continually contributes in turn to the air, to the composting earth, to the insects and oak trees and squirrels, ceaselessly spreading out of itself and breathing the world into itself so that it is very difficult to discern precisely where this living body ends and where the world begins.” David Abram ~ Spell of the Sensuous Today is the last day to apply for Hide Tanning Immersion 2021. 🦌 Link in bio. ~ I am struck with the response + knowing this program resonates with so many. It is bittersweet, as we will not be able to host everyone who’s applied (due to limited materials + that it’s our first foray into online collaboration together as instructors and mentors). But if you’ve applied, you’re part of the fam. We will cultivate more opportunities for online education and I look forward to expanding the program next year. I will email everyone by January 7. Program begins February 7. Thank you! 🍃🍂 . . . #hidetanning #bushcraft #folkmagic #folkart #oldways #hidetanningimmersion #survivalskills #outdoors #craft #natureskills #landbasededucation #environmentaleducation #environmentaleducator #queersoutdoors #natureskills #healing #honouringyourancestors
Tanning hides is folk magic. Hide tanners brush s Tanning hides is folk magic. Hide tanners brush shoulders with the more-than-human world, both tangible and intangible. Like the healer and the doula, we move in that realm between life and death. Moving between worlds changes us. The animals change us. Among so many lessons in this craft is the ability to commit to renewal and transformation. Happy New Year ✨ May the upcoming months bring the renewal and transformation we seek for collective healing.
