Hi Friends-

I’m excited to be part of an upcoming workshop that combines two of my passions: natural buidling and regenerative forest management. Forests throughout western North America are suffering from a century of fire suppression, which in combination with climate change makes our communities vulnerable to catastrophic fire. What if there were a way to enhance the health and resiliency of the surrounding ecosystem while harvesting useful resources for building healthy, firesafe structures and supportive communities? There is! Come join us to learn natural building techniques while redeveloping a reciprocal place-based culture. Hands-on work will feature cement free gabion and gravel bag foundations, round pole framing and furniture making, cob, redwood bark-and-clay insulation, and earthen floors.

Hope to see you there!
