Welcome

Thank you for your interest in
"Avnei derech"
the Israeli primitive skills gathering.

 

We have two gatherings:

"Avnei Derech" (Milestones) - our spring equinox gathering

"Sheva Avanim" (Seven Stones) - our fall gathering

​

friction fire | plant fiber cordage | basket weaving | buckskin | tracking | pottery | nature awareness | felting | wildharvesting | bird language | flint knapping | earthen building | herbal medicine | blacksmithing | and more…

Our hope is that through these skills, we may re-connect with the sacred earth we live on, and positively take more responsibility for our children's future.

 

Back to earth,

Where did it all begin?

Avnei-Derech (Milestones) is a part of a global movement of primitive skills gatherings.

It all began in the U.S.A more than 30 years ago by David Wescott (Backtracks) in a pair of events called: Rabbitstick and Wintercount.

 

 

Over the years the movement grew and there are many similar gatherings taking place in the United States, here are some of our favorites:

 

Acorn - March CA.

Buckeye - May CA.

Saskatoon - September WA.

Between the rivers - May WA.

Sharpening stone - May OR.

Earthnack - June CO.

Echoes in time - July OR

Elements - August CA

All these gatherings are based on the model created by Backtracks, including Avneu-derech. We feel very privileged and grateful to walk this path.
