Natural Building Apprenticeship 2007
Program Schedule

Daily schedule (still subject to change):
Morning sit (optional)
7 am breakfast
8 am “practice and tuning” meeting (expected)
9 am apprenticeship class
12:30 pm lunch
1:45 (or thereabouts) apprenticeship class
4:30 (or thereabouts) finish class. This time may vary.
5:30 pm dinner
7:00 pm community evening program (sometimes)

Each week, the class will meet for 5 days (or so), with 2 days off. We are still fine tuning the schedule, and will make that available when we have it ready. Your days off are entirely yours, and you are welcome to relax at Lama, visit nearby Taos or other great places, etc.

Outside of class time, there are a few more community expectations on your time, cooking/cleaning chores and some community meetings. Creating community together takes a bit of everyone’s day, but we believe that the results are well worth the time and effort. Nevertheless, most of your evenings will be free as well as your 2 days off each week, so there is still lots of personal time in the schedule.
