SUMMARY:TOPA INSTITUTE - Earthen Arts Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Earthen Arts Retreat\nwith Sage Stoneman and friends\nSaturday\, November 11 to Sunday\, November 12\, 2023\n@ Topa Institute ^ Ojai\, California\n  \nEarthen Arts Retreat is a unique weekend experience in beautiful Ojai\, California that focuses on deepening our relationship with our natural world and sense of self. Through hands-on natural building workshops\, morning movement\, and live performances\, we offer a creative container of wonder and curiosity\, allowing us to remember how it feels to be human together. \n\n\nCAMPING ^ LIVE MUSIC ^ MORNING MOVEMENT ^ NATURE WALKS ^ NATURAL BUILDING ^ ORGANIC LOCAL FOOD ^ COMMUNITY\n\n  \nTwo-Day Natural Building Workshop with Sage Stoneman\nWe are honored to host Artist-in-Residence Sage Stoneman\, one of our country’s leading natural builders\, as he facilitates a two-day natural building workshop that will provide you with: \n\nA comprehensive introduction to building with clay\, sand\, straw\, wood\, stone\, and water in different ratios for different outcomes. Understanding how these materials behave to best inform your design decisions.\nNew insights into human shelter and a deep understanding of the important role natural building can play in these unpredictable climatic times.\nAn understanding of how a building’s foundation\, frame\, roof\, and walls fit together in design and construction.\nEcological mindset: how to approach design/construction through the lens of land stewardship. Our human developments can serve as offerings\, rather than detriments\, to our natural environment!\nConnection with nature\, conscious movement\, and shared purpose with your family or new friends… soil bacteria (mycobacterium vaccae) has been shown to improve mental health.\n\nThis experience is appropriate for experienced builders/designers in conventional construction as well as people with no prior building experience.
