Animal Transformation, Winged Ones
Living within our means is a practice many have been long indoctrinated out of. Part of this indoctrination has left us disconnected from our relationship with what our needs are and what we’re truly capable of. This often leads to overconsumption and waste because we have forgotten about reverence and we have been farmed into domestication.
Come take steps into growing your wild and the skill of harvesting your food
Together we will co-create a container for the ancient earth skill of animal transformation. We will move side by side as we meet the threshold of death and transform a living being into food. Using only knives, hands and other hand tools we will take life by knife and song, working together to use every part of the animal and integrate it into our bodies and lives. From tongue to tail we will experience how to be with the practical skills as they intertwine with the deeper layers of the cycles of life and death. “We will learn to be in service to those that die so that we can live ” - Harmony Cronin.

What to expect...
You'll learn...
What you will bring away from this are the practical and intentional steps, from our lineages, to transform an animal body with only a knife and your hands.
You will take life by knife, learn how to use every part of the animal and offer back what is not used to the land.
This is a physically demanding skill and will require your presence for the entire day. You will be asked to step away from the conventional constructs of time as something like this cannot exist in a time frame.
You will need to bring your own knife to work with.
