With the majority of Ancestral Skills Gatherings being cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions, Echoes in Time was the first skills gathering to go online and it was quite fun and a huge success.

They decided to use Facebook Live as their platform and in order to facilitate it working, created a Facebook Group, which at the time of this writing has gained over 1,700 members!

One important benefit to doing the event online is that the classes were all recorded and are being kept available for a limited time for any late comers to be able to watch. The classes have all been compiled into a list of Archived Class Video Links.
