What is FLT?
“FLT” is our annual spring fundraiser to promote sustainable and natural living through the teaching of earth skills from a wide range of instructors.
It is a wonderful opportunity to return to nature and connect with skilled artisans and teachers who will be demonstrating primitive skills and crafts, while enjoying live mountain music, witnessing examples of historic building practices, and join in on demonstrations in food, blacksmithing, wood working, knives, survival, blade sharpening, plant foraging, and so much more.
Visitors will learn through experience with a hands-on approach to an alternative way of life. Demonstrations will be held throughout the day for all age groups. You can spend as much time as you like at a particular station, or spend the day exploring the many options. The event is hosted entirely outdoors on our beautiful wooded campus. A special area will focus on kids, with storytelling, flute music, drumming and puppets.
Fee: Variable pricing with separate tickets each day
