        At a Natural Building Workshop on June 25,26,27th, 2004



We will be building an entrance wall for Monte Vista.  This weekend 
workshop will begin on Friday night- teaching and slide show.   The "hands 
on" part will start on Saturday morning around 8:00 am.   We will build a 
30 ' wall.  There will be a tour of the existing structures, all different 
examples of natural building.

Pine Manor is a gathering place for psychological and spiritual exploration 
and healing.  Nestled amongst the Pines of the Cleveland National Forest, 
Pine Manor has a unique Hobbit-like cluster of small earthen buildings that 
were built to demonstrate various natural earthen building materials and 
possibilities.  This is a good opportunity to learn about various natural 
building methods, including Cob, Straw bale, Light Clay and Earth bags.
