Together we weave a collective story.
Fulcrum Skill Share is dedicated to fostering deep, transformative learning, collaboration, and co-creation opportunities through the exploration/intersection of traditional and ancestral skills in a modern context. With an emphasis on holistic community engagement, Fulcrum brings together people from all walks and stages of life, to learn, share, and grow in an immersive “Village” environment.
Rooted in reciprocity and sharing, we welcome everyone to explore what it means to be in relationship to and with the world we live in, one another and ourselves. Through alliance building networks and collective action, may we create a culture of support and resilience while honouring and acknowledging our histories, traumas and the challenges of our current times. Together may we find our way home.
Our community ethos is the living spirit that binds us together, inspires us to dig deeper and reminds us that there is always more to learn!
May we honour the interconnectedness of all beings— human, animal, plant, and elemental. Through our actions, we strive to uphold respect, sustainability, and reverence for all beings.
Decisions are made through shared dialogue and collective wisdom. We embrace horizontal leadership, where every voice is valued, and solutions emerge from mutual understanding rather than imposed authority. All decisions are made by consulting with our vision council members, organizers, guilds and participants.
May we empower one another by sharing knowledge/history & culture, whether in crafting, food cultivation, healing arts, or survival skills. By teaching and learning together, we can strengthen our resilience and deepen our relational bonds. Allowing for the roles to shift as we support each other stepping in and out of them.
May we celebrate diversity in identity, expression, and belief, fostering a space where everyone can feel safe, seen, and valued. We are currently working on different models of conflict acknowledgment and resolution. We see this act as part of our response ability to one another and our community to create space for the difficult/ uncomfortable aspects to have a place at the table. May we find our way together.
We continue to work towards practicing sustainable ways of living, ethical sourcing of materials, and waste reduction awareness. We recognize that we are caretakers, not owners, of the earth. Our efforts to walk lightly and consider our actions are integral to our gathering as we find meaningful ways to remember our connections and embody the interconnected nature of the world we live in and with.
Our gathering operates on generosity rather than transactional exchange. We offer what we can and receive what we need, trusting that abundance flows through community rather than accumulation. As we all find ways to support one another there is a magic in the reciprocity that anchors us. We offer different ways to get involved for everyone, through our bursary funds, volunteer opportunities, paid positions and tiered tickets/membership.
Whether through music, movement, focus, ritual, or silence, we honour the sacred in all forms. We gather to celebrate life’s cycles, the wisdom of ancestors, and the magic of the present moment. Together we co create spaces for reverence and play, grief and gratitude, love and fear.
May we be dedicated to personal and collective growth, embracing the challenges that come with transformation. as we hold ourselves and each other accountable, knowing that truth requires ongoing reflection, honesty, and action. We commit to showing up fully, doing the work necessary to evolve as individuals and as a community while bringing awareness to the injustices that have impacted the traditional peoples of the land on which we stand, questioning our biases and finding ways to deconstruct the narratives.
May our actions align with our words as we honour our commitments, maintain transparency in our dealings, and act with honesty in all interactions. May we cultivate trust by living with authenticity, standing by our values, and holding each other to the highest standards of integrity, knowing that integrity strengthens the foundation of our community.
We are dedicated to creating a lasting impact, both within our community structure and the world beyond. Our actions are guided by a deep respect for future generations, with hope that the gathering not only endures but thrives for years to come. We invest in sustainable practices, nurture the wisdom of elders, and pass on knowledge to the young ones, so that Fulcrum’s spirit and values continue to grow, adapt, and inspire for generations to come.
Our ethos is a way of being. It manifests in how we treat each other, how we tend the spaces we inhabit, and how we carry the gathering’s spirit into our daily lives beyond it. As we explore and learn how to be in ‘relationship’ we acknowledge that there are many aspects that make up where we are today as disporatic culture and as diverse peoples living in “North America” at this current time on the planet. This comes with many challenges, may we continue to navigate them together through accountability, and our developing networks of support and camaraderie.
