Natural Buiding Challenge
Sept. 16 - 20
Online

Have you been curious about natural building but unsure where to start or how to determine the best path forward? Whether you are at the start of your journey and just want to learn, or you are ready to jump into a project, this training is for you.

Many existing living spaces may not be that healthy or efficient, but the idea of an eco-retrofit can feel overwhelming. For those contemplating new construction, there might be barriers to considering natural, local materials like raw earth, straw, hemp, and cellulose. Whether renovating a single room, transforming a shed into a cozy living space, or planning to build a cabin or even family home, there are many pathways to creating healthy living spaces that don't cost the earth. Building materials are all around us, if we understand where to look.
