Every member of the Kindred is encouraged to learn and practice at least one skill or craft. This can be anything from storytelling to stonemasonry.
The skill should also be something that they use on a regular basis. Skills already existing in the Kindred include cookery, sewing and other textile crafts, brewing, woodworking, food production (allotments,gardening and keeping small livestock), butchery, martial arts and dry-stone walling.
The aim is not to re-create a community as might have existed a thousand years ago but to give people the ability to create and maintain a community today by using and sharing their skills. Fewer and fewer people have the basic skills required to get by in a self-reliant manner.
