Natural Building Intensive

In this two-week course, get your hands muddy with Michael G Smith and the Wanosh Family and leave with the skills to build a small structure from the ground up. We will be building the foundation for a  sauna, then adding earthen walls and a round-pole roof structure for a living roof.

Daily hands-on building sessions will be supplemented with lectures on the theoretical background you need to design and build effective natural structures, including a thorough grounding in both the structural and thermal properties of different natural materials and the fundamentals of passive solar design.

Camping is included and all meals are prepared for you with food grown on site or locally sourced with your optimal health in mind.
