Domes are models of resilient and energy efficient structures that have sustained people for centuries. It is time that our society  rediscover the many benefits of this timeless building practice. 

This workshop offers participants an introduction to best practices in designing and building an earth-bag dome home. Presentations combine traditional, modern, and hands-on knowledge to enable participants to get started on their own build.
