Summer Cob Workshops

[dustin and valerie]

Hello Fellow Cobbers and Gardeners,
This summer construction of a meditation centre, will hopefully start, in
the Fraser Valley not far from Vancouver. The centre will be situated on
spectacular land of mountains, a waterfalls, rivers, many fruit and nut
tress and forest. There is a Lodge on the land with bed and breakfast.

Phase 1
It is hoped that at least a one week Cob, and a one week Permaculture
workshop, will be held this year. At the moment we are planning to build a
garden gazebo, massage studio, benches, and sauna situated in a forest
garden.
Phase 2
There are many barn strutures on the site, and a building that was formerly
used as an airplane hanger. Much of the wood rotted and is now torn out. We
are thinking of Cobbing the structures together. The large building formerly
used as an airplane hanger could be used as a centre for Yoga.
If you have an interest in alternatives, especially Cob and
Permaculture/Forest Gardening your input is welcome. We need people who
would like to attend a workshop and someone with enough experience too give
a workshop.

Never did eye see the sun unless it had first become sunlike, and never can
the Soul have vision of the First Beauty unless itself be beautiful.

What are the best resources for finding out about cob workshops for the
upcoming summer?  Does anyone know of dates and places where some are
already scheduled?

My wife and I are graduates of a CCC basics class and looking to build
(pardon the pun) on those skills.  We're hoping to spend several weeks
helping others while contributing where we can and learning more as we go.

Any resources and contacts people have along these lines is of interest to
us.
Thanks.
