June 4 - 6, 2027
This natural building immersion led by legendary natural builder Uncle Mud in collaboration with Earthworm Learning is going to be fulll of hands-on learning and collaboration!!
In this weekend, we will be getting into three projects!!: creating a COB Oven and kiln that honors our local frogs (after making Cob from 100% local clay subsoil and straw), building a very special treehouse (playhouse) for the children!!, and installing and discussing (our design process for) a cob-covered rocket-stove-inspired fire-powered pool heater for our chemical-free pool beside the cob sauna.
You will learn (by practicing!) a variety of skills and unique yet widely applicable, adaptable and accessible projects! This is quite a rare gem of an opportunity. You will learn how to make and work with cob which is an incredibly versatile, forgiving and healing building material. You will also learn how to BUILD A WHOLE HOUSE that will be strong with love n magik and tucked right in to our trees (treenet hammocks/playground in the trees coming very soon)!!
Food will be provided, and please inquire about our accommodation options. Friday evening Uncle Mud and Ember will be discussing their visionary design process for the weekend's projects, the structural and massive health benefits and blessings of natural building especially cob, and tips to make your visions land with confidence and ease!
Maximum capacity for the weekend: 11 participants
Max capacity for Friday evening: 22 people
