Join us for an immersive 2-day natural building experience with Sasha Rabin and John Orcutt
Workshop Teachers
Earthen Shelter
Founded by Sasha Rabin in 2013, now run by Sasha and her husband, John Orcutt. Sasha has been teaching natural building since 2002, co-founding Seven Generations Natural Builders and Vertical Clay, and working with organizations like Cal-Earth, The Canelo Project, and Quail Springs. John, a former coral farmer, transitioned into natural building in 2013, studying at Earthship Academy and Cal-Earth before joining Sasha at Quail Springs, where he deepened his passion for sustainable construction.
Abudu
Fun Fact: Sasha and John of EarthenShelter were Abudu's first natural building teachers at Quail Springs. Abudu is MAMA TREE's resident carpenter and an avid natural builder. Abudu will be assisting to create the foundation and frame the structure, with an informative lesson on the process included in the workshop.
Natalie
Fun fact: MAMA TREE's farm co-director Natalie once lived in this earthen shelter that Sasha and John helped build while at Quail Springs! Natalie has been an avid natural builder since first getting her hands dirty at Quail Springs in 2013. After that experience she was hooked and did an apprenticeship on a cob house build at Spirit Pine in 2015. She has had her hands and feet involved in numerous small homes and earthen ovens since
