Host A Workshop
Interested in building on your land or in your community?
Let’s turn your vision into a shared experience.
Hosting a workshop means your project becomes a collaborative, hands-on learning journey—for you, for your community, and for everyone involved. You’ll get the extra hands and support to bring your natural building project to life, while also helping spread knowledge and skills that stay rooted in place.
Together, we’ll:
Build something practical, beautiful, and community-led
Share tools, techniques, and natural building wisdom
Create a space for connection, empowerment, and cultural exchange
Workshops can be hosted in a variety of settings—rural land, community centers, eco-villages, refugee settlements, and more. If you’ve got a vision and a place to build, we’d love to collaborate.

There are a lot of sustainable natural materials to build with depending on: what your property has access to, your climate, your soil composition, and the function of your building. It's important to do research before deciding on a natural material to build with.
When planning out a new natural building project, start by walking your land and take notice of the natural materials you have access to on your property.
Take a soil test to see what components are in your soil.
Do you have access to water?
Is it a dry or wet climate?
Which direction does the water run off?
Start thinking about where you will source your materials from and what kind of transportation you will need.
What impact is this project having on the local environment?
Will you be using sustainable or regenerative materials?
Will you need fuel and electricity on your build site?
Are you using heavy operating equipment or hand tools?
What emissions is your build site giving off?
What are you going to do with leftover materials and construction waste?
Are the materials biodegradable?
Can they be recycled if the house is renovated or torn down in the future?
