Turtle Lodge at Maine Primitive Skills School: A Symbol of Honor and Connection

Nestled within the campus of Maine Primitive Skills School, the Turtle Lodge stands as a sacred space, honoring the deep connection between the community and the Earth. This unique Earth Lodge holds a special significance, reserved exclusively for community elders who are granted the privilege of resting within its walls.

Sacred Privilege: Access to the Turtle Lodge is a distinguished privilege, reserved for community elders, reflecting the reverence and respect for their wisdom and experience. It serves as a space for rest, reflection, and a continuation of traditions.

Long-Term Residency: Some of our dedicated staff choose to make the Earth Lodges their long-term homes. Living within this natural setting fosters a profound connection with the environment, aligning with the core values of Maine Primitive Skills School.

Turtle Lodge Merchandise: To share the essence of this sacred space with a broader audience, Turtle Lodge is now featured on our merchandise, including T-shirts and mugs. These items serve as tangible reminders of the rich traditions and the interconnectedness that defines the MPSS community.

Symbolic Representation: The Turtle Lodge embodies the spirit of the Earth and its teachings. Turtles are revered in many cultures for their wisdom, patience, and connection to the land. The lodge serves as a physical manifestation of these values.

Preserving Tradition: As we make Turtle Lodge available through merchandise, it's a way to preserve and extend the teachings and traditions embedded in its existence. Each item becomes a symbol, carrying the energy and spirit of this sacred space.

Community Legacy: The Turtle Lodge stands not just as a physical structure but as a living testament to the legacy and continuity of the Maine Primitive Skills School community. It represents a commitment to honoring elders, living harmoniously with nature, and sharing these values with the world.
