Join us on January 25th for Firefly Gathering’s Buckskin Sewing Workshop, where we’ll honor the Earth and reconnect with timeless traditions by transforming deer hides into beautiful, wearable buckskin.
“Earthskills empower people with the knowledge to take care of ourselves and one another by utilizing practices that are directly connected with the earth.”
Hear what one Firefly Gathering attendee has to say about how to continue building on your experience at home.
As we settle in at the Wild Human preserve on the pristine Toe River in Green Mountain, NC, we encourage you to explore some of these self care practices during your time in the river or at a quiet place near your campsite or off in the forest.

Lily is an artist, creator, and dreamer. Since a very young age, she has been immersed in the natural world and draws heavy inspiration from the wild. Though her medium changes frequently, Lily’s art and expression always incorporate an element of the organic and unpredictable. She got her associate in fine arts in 2023, and now volunteers at her school as a ceramic studio monitor. She hopes to open a studio of her own one day to have a place to teach and inspire others. In addition to doing commission work, Lily has been creating many graphics for The Firefly Gathering since 2019. Lily grew up in the Earthskills community from the time she was eight years old, so having the opportunity to grow and give back in so many ways has been incredibly fulfilling. No matter where she ends up, this group of people and ideas will always hold a special place in her heart.
