Cobbing Fun at A Greener America workshop

We will continue to build the newest cob building: Sea World, with more emphasis on sculptural furniture, adobe floors and the last of the windows. Expect your building experience to be accompanied by music, whimsy, and dancing. No suffering allowed.

We will also have a guest lecturer for a couple of hours on the weekend days, Richard Herman, sharing his expertise on permaculture.

Our meals will be gourmet vegetarian (from local sources), some of it cooked in solar ovens. Daily yoga classes for those who wish. This is a time to relax, learn, and commune with friends and nature. Continue Reading »

July 23 – 28th (Thursday, 10 a.m. – Tuesday, 1:30)

Joy Fox and friends will demonstrate:

*natural healthful cooking
*solar cooking and baking, with a solar oven
*daily yoga classes
*cobbing – the ancient, but recently revived technique of adobe mounding for construction. We will be working on an outdoor project near the cob castle.

This week-long workshop is definitely a hands-on experience! You may join us for any portion of this retreat, but please reserve ahead.

Cost: $200 for everything, or $40/day (Some trades possible.)
