What is Rewilding?
(and why it is the answer to all our problems)
An Earth Day Benefit for Rewild Portland with Lecture & Silent Auction
Friday, April 24th @ Multnomah Arts Center, 6pm-9:30pm, $10-? Sliding Scale
"What is Rewilding?" A Lecture by Author Peter Michael Bauer
Rewilding has been all over the news lately. From reality shows following survivalist types, to web articles about obscure paleo diet remedies. But what is rewilding, really? Why is it considered "radical" by some, intriguing to many, and disregarded altogether as nonsense by others? In this hour long presentation, long time catalyst of rewilding, Peter Michael Bauer, will break down the essentials of understanding rewilding; how it is beneficial (and perhaps the "answer to all our problems), and show what people in Portland and around the country are doing to create cultures of rewilding.
Silent Auction
At the silent auction, you can engage in a bidding war for crazy cool stuff and fund another year of awesome programs for Rewild Portland. Items at the silent auction include things like; massages, artwork, gift cards, float tanks, wellness, movie passes, and much more!
Ancestral Skills Demos
Apart from the lecture and silent auction there will be ancestral skills demonstrations, such as: basket weaving, stone tool, and felt-making.
