MAPS is a group that, since 1997, has been devoted to helping its members become more proficient at the whole range of primitive skills and living in harmony with the Earth. Simply put, we believe that the best and deepest way to connect with Nature is to learn to live with the Earth in the same intimate way that indigenous peoples all over the world have done for eons.

We meet every couple of months to learn and share ancient skills such as tracking, awareness, edible plant identification and harvesting, bow making and shooting, hide tanning, cordage making, flint knapping, fire making, basket making, pottery, primitive shelter construction, and other earth skills. All are welcome regardless of skill level or age.
