Workshops in sustainable building methods explore the theory behind the design of Unity Ecovillage and teach practical skills in building with mud (adobe, cob, and hydraform), utilizing renewable energy sources, composting toilets, and more. Ongoing service learning projects give participants the opportunity to apply their newly-acquired knowledge.
