Place your reservations early. It's easy. Call in or e-mail the workshops you would like to attend and you will receive a registration confirmation, directions and other pertinent information. Please note that no reservations will be taken one week before a class starts.

After you receive your Registration Confirmation via phone call or e-mail:
1. A $15 deposit per workshop is required. For example, if your take 3 workshops, the deposit total is $45. The $15 per workshop will be deducted from the class fee. The balance of the workshop fee will be collected at the beginning of the class. Please note that no workshop deposit fee (for that particular workshop canceled) will be refunded if you cancel 7 days before a class starts. Make the check out to Dino Labiste.
If you wish, you may also pay the total fee amount for all your workshops in advance.
2. Make a copy of the Registration Form or, if you don't have access to a printer, write out a similar form with the pertinent information, and fill out the form. Submit a separate Registration Form for each participant.
3. Make a copy of the Release of Liability form, fill it out and sign the form with the appropriate signatures. Submit a separate, signed form for each workshop taken. Please do not write out a similar form of the Release of Liability. If you do not have a printer, forms will be available at the start of the class. A signed Release of Liability form is required to take any of the workshops.
Mail your deposit check, Registration Form and Release of Liability form to Kahiko Workshops of Primitive Skills, 4768 Cortez Avenue, Fremont, California 94536.

The class size is kept small, so that the instructor can interact with each student. The primitive skills workshops are taught at a local park or, depending on the necessary tools, in the backyard of the instructor's home.

The workshops are held in Fremont, California (United States)
Head Instructor: Dino Labiste

Kahiko Workshops of Primitive Skills is also available for demonstrations/lectures to schools, organizations, or groups. Choose any topic from the workshops or inquire about other primitive skills. Contact Dino Labiste for more information.

Teaching enriches me in the sense that I am sharing my knowledge of primitive skills. Hopefully, in turn, the students will pass down their skills to someone else who wants to learn primitive technology.

Both teaching and learning are essentially experiences of sharing. Sharing is based upon the interdependence and interconnectedness of life. In such a world of interrelationship, a single act of sharing, kindness or giving benefits not only the receiver but the giver.

There is nothing in this world that cannot teach us. I am constantly learning from everyone I meet.
