The Way of The Red Squirrel draws upon archaeological evidence of craft, highlights folklore and mythology that taps into ancestral skills that the land remembers. Our hands and bodies remember these crafts and the course itself is taught from an animistic viewpoint which includes invitations to welcome in the living materials we're working with. The way of the Red Squirrel is not a skills course for skills sake, but a skills course that can connect us to the land, the ancestors and each other.

The Way of the Red Squirrel is a deep Ancestral Skills experience which consists of the courses from April the 25th all the way to September 27th. The courses are one weekend a month near Chagford, Dartmoor for 6 months.
