The Lama Foundation is a non-denominational spiritual community in northern New Mexico. You may have read, or heard of, a book from the '70s called Be Here Now. That book was written at Lama.


A couple years ago, a forest fire devastated the community. Only two or three buildings were spared.
Build Here Now! was conceived as a natural building and permaculture learning-and-doing convergence to help rebuild Lama.
