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)

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.
