| Introduction | Saskatoon Circle Primitive Skills Gathering is a retreat emphasizing basic living skills with a focus on ancient crafts and community connection. Our goal is to give people the tools to reconnect to the Earth so that we may postively take more responsibility for our actions. Saskatoon Circle is held at Skalitude Retreat Center in the North Cascades Wildlands, surrounded by publicly owned lands and wild critters who call this place home. We are a collection of people who have a passion for sharing these skills and living in connection with the land. |
