Moose Ridge & Wilder Waters Gathering
July 23-26, 2026
Multi-day event held in Upton, Maine.
There are many skills that our ancestors possessed, no matter where in the world they came from, that allowed us to be here today. All of our ancestors made fire, hunted and prepared food, crafted tools and containers, clothed themselves, and built shelters from the elements. They also made beautiful objects, sang songs together, listened to drums, played games, and sat around a fire telling stories or just reflecting on the day. If you're human, you belong here! Moose Ridge
Workshops: Thursday - Small Foraging Basket $20 (Kids Only), Friday - Explorer Pack Basket $75, and Saturday Quiver $50. Limited space in workshops.
