Sky&Earth

Meet in the Great State of Texas

Group of people participating in an outdoor flint-knapping workshop under trees, with various stone tools and materials on a tarp.

SkyEarth is modeled after a family of gatherings like Rabbitstick (started 1988), Winter Count (started 1995) and EarthKnack (started 1995) that strives to reconnect people with old ways of making fire, tanning hides, forming metal, weaving baskets, hunting, gathering and many more outdoor primitive, bushcraft, survival, and homesteading skills. Check out the gathering Schedule.

The gathering will take place not far from the town of Graham at Prairie Haven Texas, the family land of Scott Ezzell. Scott has been a participant and on the work trade crew of Winter Count and Rabbitstick for several years and felt that it had changed his life. It seemed clear to him that offering his land for the event could help change other people's lives as well.

Scott has plans to reclaim the land in a way that will nurture and heal it following previous conventional land management practices. To regenerate his land he raises cattle and small ruminants using holistic management and permaculture design practices to restore the native landscape.
