SUMMER COURSE:
Contemplative Sustainable Design
San Cristobol, New Mexico
July 29-August 17
This summer join us for a three-week (3-credit) intensive workshop on environmentally sustainable living in the mountains of northern New Mexico.
The workshop includes:
*Hands-on experience in NATURAL BUILDING (we will build solar-powered, straw bale structures)
*The study of regional GREEN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN (including Native American construction techniques and the design of Taos Earthships)
*Sustained practice in YOGA, MEDITATION and other contemplative traditions
*Seminar discussions about GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS and activism
We will live close to the land—at 8500 feet, on 100 acres surrounded by national forests—and participate in the day-to-day operations of the Lama Foundation, a small, unique, 40 year-old community devoted to sustainability and spiritual growth. Our aim is to explore the challenges of external and internal sustainability.
