Lost Skills Gathering is a one-day gathering in Coshocton, Ohio, where elders share their wisdom through hands-on instruction, storytelling and live demonstrations of 50+ timeless skills — from herbalism to craftwork and homesteading to self-sufficiency. We are committed to creating an inclusive, kind, and welcoming space where politics are set aside, and connection through learning is at the heart of the day. By sharing knowledge of heritage crafts, forgotten skills, and sustainable practices, we honor the wisdom of the past while equipping our community for a resilient future.

For one beautiful day, the world felt a little different. And perhaps, in some small but meaningful way, we changed it. ❤️

We've spent the past week reflecting on the very first Lost Skills Gathering, and the more we look back, the more extraordinary it all feels.

What began as an idea, a hope that we could bring people together around the knowledge, traditions, and skills worth preserving, became something far more beautiful than we could have imagined.

We watched strangers become friends, children learn beside elders, generations share wisdom, and hundreds of people rediscover the simple joy of making something with their own hands.

But there was something else happening that day. Something harder to describe, but impossible not to feel.

Our host Brandon put together a special reflection on that first gathering, what it meant to us, the remarkable people who made it possible, and why we believe this is only the beginning of something much bigger.

And we've included more than 20 beautiful photographs that capture the people, the moments, and the magic of that unforgettable day! 📸

Whether you were there with us or wished you could have been, we'd love for you to experience this story. It's a celebration of what we accomplished together, and a reminder of what's possible when people come together with open hearts, willing hands, and a shared belief in a more human future.

Take a few minutes, enjoy the photographs, and read the story of how a little gathering in Coshocton, Ohio, became something we'll carry with us for a lifetime.

What a day.

We’re still taking in everything that happened at the very first Lost Skills Gathering.

More than 1,000 people from over 10 states came together to learn, teach, make, share, connect, and remember just how much knowledge still lives in our communities.

But what meant the most wasn’t simply the number of people who came.

It was watching the idea become real.

We saw children learning beside elders. Strangers stopping to talk. People trying skills they had never touched before, discovering new passions, trading stories, asking questions, and walking away with knowledge they could actually use.

We watched teachers generously give away pieces of what they know.

That is what Lost Skills was always supposed to be.

One person teaches another. That person carries the knowledge home, practices it, shares it again—and the ripple keeps moving outward. Something that might otherwise have disappeared stays alive.

If you were there, we want to hear from you.

We’ve created a short attendee feedback form, and your response will help us shape Year Two.

Tell us what you loved. What surprised you. What could be better. Tell us about a teacher, demonstration, conversation, or moment that stayed with you. Tell us your story.

Good, bad, inspiring, practical, unexpected—we genuinely want to hear it.

And if Lost Skills meant something to you, we’d also be deeply grateful if you would leave us a review on Facebook. Your words help future attendees understand what this gathering actually feels like and help this community continue to grow.
