Natural building workshop with
sage stoneman April 7-13 2024
April 7 – April 13
Lumberton, MS
Not quite a retreat, more than a workshop….
Natural Building and Embodiment Camp is an invitation to advance into lifeways that you’ve been dreaming, visioning, or working towards; not a retreat or escape from a life path that you will inevitably return to.
And while you will walk away with more confidence, skills, theoretical frameworks, and hands-on experience in natural building, our goal is to foster an interactive learning environment where you’re also invited to share your gifts and explore edges in all of your dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
There will be activities for all skill levels and physical capacities, and you are always welcome to step back and witness. All ages are welcome to participate, and we can make childcare available as needed. We seek to make our environment as accessible as possible, so please do share your needs with us and we will do our best to make the necessary accommodations.
Together and with the deep wells of support and guidance available on the land we will see what unfolds when we bring our full presence to our creative capacities and our desires to build the homes and communities of our dreams.
Join Us To…
- explore what becomes possible when we engage with life and with nature from a perspective of collaboration and stewardship.
- discuss theory and design
- engaging in real time building processes: roundwood timber framing, working with cob, wattle, and daub
- focus on natural building as a form of therapy and healing
- explore regenerative prompts and improvisational dance forms through guided movement sessions
Experience living close to nature and in community with folks from across the region and the nation as you gain new tools and insights.

LODGING / ABOUT ALL YOU NEED
A tent camping site is included with your registration fee and includes access to hot showers, wifi, a shared community yurt where you can relax, read, charge your devices, play instruments, etc. Verizon works perfectly on-site, other carriers have more spotty service but typically folks can find somewhere to make and receive calls as needed. There will be a small community fridge available for necessary items only (i.e. medicines/special food needs).
If you are in need of camping gear we can provide you with a full set up for a small fee ($25).
Folks with campers/buses/vans are welcome just let us know before you arrive that you plan to bring one. If you would like access to an electrical hook-up or have a set-up larger than 25′, there is a small fee associated ($50).
We also have some limited indoor accomodations available for a fee, or if you have other special accessibility needs please let us know and we will see what we can do to accomodate you.
