This past May, former board president of The Yellow Room, Kirsten Longmeier, took part in a month-long project into the wild with her family. This project consisted of 16 participants spanning 4 generations, 2 horses, a herd of goats all living in the Okanagan wilderness. Unique to this project, was the shared vision to practice living in the Stone Age era as nomadic hunter-gatherers.Subsisting off of wild foods, living in bark shelters and practicing the art of the nomadic lifestyle, this journey was an entry back into a time when life was timeless and slow.
Come hear her story.
