Viking Longhouse Weekend Gathering

During the Viking age the Nordic peoples built immense structures that housed extended families who practiced communal living. The Longhouses were also havens of hospitality. Northern Woman’s Longhouse Gatherings are a way to recreate this shared experience with our “extended family”. Exploring the changing seasons, we’ll camp in tents, share meals, go on group hikes, play rustic games, and learn Nordic bushcraft skills among other things. Many classes offered at this event. See website.
