Portland Nature of the Village
Remake the village
How does a village live, breathe and work? Come participate in an open space village, where you tell your story and take the actions that the village needs to thrive. At the Nature of the Village you immediately feel like you have stepped into another world: one where the value of traditional skills are learned and celebrated and where people care for one another like a family.
Powered by Open Space
Open Space Social Technology is a consensus process for group gatherings, which leaves participants more energized at the end than they were at the beginning. It provides a forum storytelling, sharing and action emerging from the passions of the participants. It fundamentally changes the organization, village and the people it serves by affirming and renewing life with a family voice and song.

Boat Building and Folk Craft Skillshare
Join us at the TrackersHQ for 5-days of boat building and sharing skills. In the heart of Sellwood and honoring Trackers urban DIY roots, this is a unique and affordable skillshare you can bus, bike or walk to. Every day we come together lending a hand to rebuild a grand sailing vessel that seems to arise from the mysts of an ancient past. And in Open Space style, we share many primitive and fine folk craft. From fire by friction to leather crafting and sewing, from tracking to winter tinctures and teas, this is the place where community comes together, bringing to life to a new vessel of the sea and teaching one another the skills vital rebuilding the village.
