Kincraft : Learning With The Land.

Experience a blend of traditional and local ecological knowledge, skills, and crafts to remember our forgotten relationship with the natural world. Rather than a weekend hobby, this is an everyday way of living. You will find immense joy in sharing this journey of rediscovery, leaving you with a more profound and resilient relationship with our fellow non-human communities.

Join Paul and his team as he explores the many possible forms of kincraft with the more-than-human, towards more regenerative futures.
