Welcome!
Ancient Earth School of Natural Building is dedicated to experiential education through building sustainable structures with natural materials.

Using green building practices and incorporating sacred geometry such as the Golden Mean, the structures that Ancient Earth builds include meditation sanctuaries, yoga spaces, and dwellings in which to live, play and dream. Building with natural materials has been described as: “magical, life changing, inspiring, healthy and non-toxic”.

We also design and build garden benches, sculptured walls, and clay baking ovens.

Building can be done with a family, a group of kids, or a community of people, depending on the structure. Our styles of building originate from cultures all around the globe and include straw bale, cob, wattle and daub, light straw clay, dug out, rammed earth, dirt bags, adobe, and round wood joinery.

We strive to use non-electric hand tools and human powered equipment honoring and continuing the skills of our ancestors. A safe, non-threatening work environment is our first priority.

Please be sure to check out our GALLERY page for photos of past events and projects.

Our workshops have been completed for the 2008 season. Please visit back often, as we will start building our 2009 Workshop schedule over the next few months.

No prior building experience is needed in order to take our classes and hands-on workshops. Community involvement is encouraged.

Ancient Earth School of Natural Building also offers consultations on site placement, design, building techniques, and materials.
