Our workshops offer you a great way to ramp up your tiny house (or Earthship) journey by providing you with inspiration and information you need to get your project moving in the right direction. Ben has built over 30 Tiny Houses for a variety of climates, sustainability, weight and health challenges. Our workshops also build community with like-minded people who are interested in lowering their global impact, living debt-free and simplifying their lives.

Reviews
“The 3 day weekend hands on course was a blast. I found confidence in using power tools and learnt more about tiny house design and building than 5 years of Youtube”
“Thank you Ben for an amazing workshop. Our new community of Tiny house friends was an unexpected highlight. You helped me make my Tiny house dream more achievable. ”
“Working alongside Ben is like watching a master tradesman at work, his knowledge is mindblowing but the best part is that he’s a natural born teacher that’s passionate about sharing his knowledge. He has a near magical ability to bring out the inner builder in people, making natural building an incredibly fun journey all the while showing how community and sustainability is at the heart of the tiny house and natural building movement. Recommend isn’t the word, I urge you to take any opportunity to work with Ben, you’ll be forever changed and be connected with a community of like minded folks that’ll become friends for life.”
We host natural building and tiny house design build workshops to inspire and empower people to build with confidence. At workshops, we teach and learn with our head, heart and hands. Students and crew on each and every course have been inspiring change-makers from all over the world. Workshops offer all participants the chance to experience learning, living, and working in a collaborative group environment that is rooted in permaculture principles.
