Earthbag construction—also known as SuperAdobe and HyperAdobe—is a revolutionary building technique that uses bags filled with earth to create durable, fireproof, and sustainable structures. These methods combine ancient wisdom with modern engineering to form homes that are flood-resistant, thermally efficient, and incredibly strong. By using local soil and simple tools, anyone can build beautiful, resilient shelters with minimal environmental impact—no heavy machinery or prior experience needed.

From foundation to finish, you’ll get your hands dirty with real construction, guided by experts who’ve built everything from family homesteads to large-scale domes. This isn’t just about skills—it’s about joining a passionate community committed to self-sufficiency, ecological design, and meaningful craftsmanship. Whether you're ready to build your own home or just want to gain confidence in natural building, this workshop will change the way you think about shelter.
