Refuge, Rest, Renewal: 5 Day Natural Building Workshops
Refuge, Rest, Renewal: 5 Day Natural Building Workshops
The goal of these workshops is to restore a ruin with time tested natural building techniques. We will be rebuilding the stone walls, creating new roof structure from native timber and installing a traditional clay tile roof. There will be opportunities to engage with the Design / Build process as we create rooms and select finishes. In addition we will be making improvements to the land so that it may become a refuge for the healing that will accompany these workshops. This is a great opportunity if you want to gain proficiency with traditional natural building techniques, make time mindfulness, and build a creative community. You can join us for one workshop or all 3, plus for the free volunteer periods in between. Space is limited to 7 participants per workshop.
We’ll be integrating group meditations, shamanic breathwork journeys, conscious experiences, land listening, and yoga into the workshop schedule as well. We’d love to have you join!
