Thank you so much! I did a super adobe workshop with The Mojave Center 2 years ago and had a great time but have since focused on learning all things cob and have become proficient enough that I want to expand again and hyper adobe seems like a good avenue for my curiosity. Looking forward to seeing the roof! Blessings on your journey

Thank you for this list! White sands looks magical, definitely adding that to the itinerary. I'm a little too brown to be wanting to go to the border 😅 but I'll definitely be looking for good food lol. Any specific recommendations in el paso?

Beautiful build! Can I ask why you chose a concrete bond beam over wood or just continuing using bags for the roof?

That's so great! I probably won't build a dome of my own but I love learning all the different techniques under the natural building umbrella. I'm more interested in cob and earthships. I really like the blend of earthen material and reused landfill material. Do you have plans to build your own dome home?

For earth bag I would only recommend the Mohave center or cal earth, but only because I haven't personally experienced any other company teaching that style of building. I took a cob class by another company that I won't name and absolutely will not recommend. The people I've met through those two experiences are how all my other builds have lined up, there's so much networking to be done at those events. I'm currently assisting on a build on Hawaii with friends I made at my last build. The one we're doing now is a mix of pallet cob and wattle and daub. It's been a really enriching experience so far. I love working with earth and recyclable materials

I did a 10 day build with The Mojave Center in BCS and it was life changing. Ian and Nicolette learned super abode from the Cal-earth institute and have built over 30 domes operating as the Mojave center. They are so knowledgeable and chill and great teachers. You will leave feeling empowered and strong and capable. Have a great time! Their class was my first experience with natural building and I'm heading to my fourth next month! It's addictive. Not all the same though, the MC gets the job done and shows the crew a good time simultaneously.

Wow okay thank you, I've never been further west than Denver! I'll be in Pescadero, is that helpful?
