STRUCTURES
Living Earth Structures is dedicated to creating earthen ovens, benches, and small huts using all locally sourced, natural materials, while building community in the process.
In South America, the word for work parties is “Minga”…We love to do Mingas! It is a win win for everyone…
people get to learn a valuable skill while the structure can get built much quicker with lots of folks positive energy embedded into the structure.We offer at least 4 workshops per year.
If you would like to host a workshop on your property, and help gather your friends to come participate, please let us know and we can set something up.
In a weekend workshop, we can build an earthen oven, bench or small structure.
A second workshop is offered a few weeks later once the structure is dry to apply the finish plaster.
Many muddy hands and feet make light work!
