Cob is an ancient building practice using a mixture of sand, clay and straw, for creating natural, sustainable buildings. Currently, this cooperative building practice is gaining popularity. 

We are thrilled to have Betty Seaman join our Winter Work Retreat for this one day only!  You'll experience building a cob bench, from scratch to finish (or almost finished!), and will learn all that is necessary for your own projects.  Cob Betty is well known around the country for her dedication to sustainable living, her expertise in alternative building styles, and her joyful teaching style.

"If there is any positive side to stark changes coming our way, it may be in the benefits of close communal relations, of having to really work intimately (and physically) with our neighbors, to be part of an enterprise that really matters and to be fully engaged in meaningful social enactments instead of being merely entertained to avoid boredom.

Years from now, when we hear singing at all, we will hear ourselves, and we will sing with our whole hearts."
