Greetings Everyone!



We are excited about the Natural Building 
workshop we are offering this summer at 
Commonweal Garden. It is turning into a 
spectacular event. In addition to the incredible 
professional natural builders and instructors 
Michael Smith and Janine Bjornsen, we will also 
have presentations from Darrel DeBoer, bamboo 
architect extraordinaire, and the Kleiwerks West 
Team of Marisha Farnsworth and Kevin Rowell.



Marisha and Kevin are professional natural 
builders who have been working all over the 
world. They will be bringing amazing bamboo 
builder friends from Costa Rica, Martin and Grace 
Coto, who will be teaching bamboo construction during the workshop.



This workshop is going to be a once in a lifetime 
event, so we hope you can join us!  If you are 
interested, we encourage you to sign up soon – 
our last 2 workshops have sold out. We will also 
have delicious organic food from Carin McKay and 
lots of music around the campfire.



Hope to see you in July!!





Blessings,

Penny
