5-DAY IMMERSION:
NATURAL BUILDING & BEING
Together, we will practice the art of natural building and being. Participants will engage hands-on with every phase of constructing a structure, gaining direct experience with materials, techniques, and process. While deeply practical, this is not a conventional “how to build a house” workshop. Instead, technical skill-building is woven into a broader inquiry grounded in presence, creativity, and relationship.
Our learning environment is rooted in shared creativity, vulnerability, and devotion to the elements. Beyond building, our time together will include meditation, council circles around the fire, collective visioning and organizing toward new futures, shared meals, songs and storytelling, as well as improvisational games. These practices create a cohesive container that supports both personal and collective growth.
This will be a small, intimate cohort - limited to 10 participants - allowing for focused attention on individual questions, specific building techniques, and meaningful community formation.
This program is ideal for those who have attended a one-day or weekend workshop and left wanting a more sustained container: consistent practice, deeper learning, and a community grounded in nature.
WHAT IS A WORKSHOP?
when i facilitate a workshop, i am offering insight into my relationship with natural building as a medium of artistic expression and self-reflection.
my work is deeply therapeutic for me. natural building is a physically grounding process which helps me to
regulate my nervous system,
self-reflect,
and connect
with my creative agency.
i want to share my practical knowledge and my approach to natural building as self-therapy.
a workshop is a wonderful opportunity to...
come together as humans and connect within the context of curiosity and creativity...
learn practical skills to build a structure with natural and reclaimed materials...
learn to work with cob (clay, sand, and natural fiber), tree trunks and branches, stone, and found materials from the surrounding community...
empower yourself to create ecologically-integrated and functional art that defies conventions and inspires others to do the same...
discuss theory and design, address specific questions, and engage in real-time building processes!
