The Build Outside The Box Mastermind course covers 17 different natural building techniques taught by high caliber teachers, and includes valuable resources such as workbooks and checklists. It also has a growing library of extra classes. You can find out what building style is best for your climate, budget, skill-level, and values.
In today’s world, many of us are living in uninspiring, toxic boxes that limit our capacity and potential for growth – mentally, emotionally, and physically.
The course covers: cob, adobe, earthbag, rammed earth, tire walls, aircrete, hemp, strawbale, light straw clay, repurposed materials and salvaged materials. A bonus class on nature-based solutions serves as an introduction to the systems that make these types of structures come alive and nurture their residents.
Classes are taught by 17 Masterminds, builders, designers, scientists and teachers who each cover one type of building system. These Masterminds have also written technical standards for the use of alternative materials and been instrumental in getting them into the building codes.
Classes by renowned natural builder and designer, Sigi Koko, cover the big picture including climate, building envelope, thermal mass vs. insulation and passive solar design. Dr. Rachel Goldlust teaches us about finding the right piece of land and walks us through key considerations of the planning and permitting process.
