Come learn or hone traditional homesteading skills compatible with
contemporary life. With Lama as our model for elegant yet simple
living, we will practice walking in beauty-- a terra-psychology compatible with
the natural environment in harmony with all our relations on earth.

Workshop leaders will direct projects involving food - from field and patio to table and pantry. Techniques and recipes for kitchen and garden will cater to your particular situation whether rural or urban, largescale or small.
