The gathering becomes a village in the best sense, and creates a safe, positive environment for learning and growing. We hold community events each evening around the fire which are inspired by ancient cultures of music, song, stories, dance and celebration.
PEG is a family friendly event where people of all ages can find community and connect with the earth in a safe environment.
Kids will love our kids programming. Some classes invite children to participate with their parents while others allow teens to participate alongside adults.

Piedmont Earthskills Gathering takes place in G.W. Hill Forest, a place of wildness and natural beauty.
In addition to being a great place to learn, Hill Forest also provides ample room for camping, hot showers, and flushing toilets. For those who need a bed, we have cabins available to rent.
It is difficult to learn on an empty stomach or relax when we are always having to think about our next meal. So we do the cooking for you.
Piedmont Earthskills Gathering takes place September 23rd-27th.
Discounts are available if you buy early.
We look forward to seeing you out here!
