ROOTS School Rocks

A few friends here have started up a new school, ROOTS, Reclaiming Our Origins Through Traditional Skills teaching primitive skills, aka, ancestral skills, aka native earth living skills, like bow-making, flintknapping, awareness, tracking, primitive cooking.... and other skills to make you into a ninja. Or a child of the earth.

I love working with natural materials because the work is an act of surrender; I have to create a relationship between me and the material. If I think I know exactly how something is going to work out, chances are, I'm wrong and the materials know better. It's a good link to the Bigger Picture.
