August 13 & 14 // September 3 & 4

Location: Petersburg, NY

The BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) friction fire workshop is an overnight experience to learn and practice the art of fire birthing. The group will participate in a land-walk to identify trees and other materials to make a bow drill kit. Participants will learn carving techniques and knife safety and begin carving their own bow drill kit. The second day will be spent together — fine tuning our kits, learning about tinder and fire lays, and working on getting a coal. There will be discussions on fire — both as a tool for survival and a bridge to the ancestral realm — and ponder ways friction fires can become a part of your daily, weekly, or monthly spiritual practices.

These programs run on a sliding scale.
