Rooted In Simplicity

Join us at the Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch, near Point Reyes Station, CA and within traditional Coast Miwok territory, for a community gathering and celebration.

On the edge between the last days of summer and the transition to autumn, we will host "Rooted in Simplicity," an event for and by our community, focused on the meaning and power of what we wear and how we care for those textiles over time.

This event is designed for you and your family to both dabble and deepen (whichever you choose), your connection between land, water and textiles through practices that will spur your senses and intellect.

You’ll have an opportunity to meet and mingle with artists, makers, farmers and practitioners of all textile and farming stripes as they showcase soil-to-skin pieces that they have created from our bioregion.

We will also demonstrate the full life-cycle of a garment — from soil to soil — through demonstrations that provide hands-on engagement with every facet of how we wear, wash, tend, mend and eventually compost our clothing.

Food, fiber, beverages and natural dyes will all be woven together from our landscape — you’ll have ample opportunity to eat, drink, wear and mingle in all that our land base provides for our health and wellbeing.

Ticket prices are sliding scale, from $50 to $125, all inclusive. Please pay what you feel comfortable with.
