What Anna Wolfson is saying about this Meetup Group

Because there are very real opportunities to learn Natural building technologies both through dialogue and study and through hands on practucums. It is also a fantastic opportunity to meet with spirited, hard working midwestern natural builders, solar architects, etc.

  • Hi Anna....thanks for the welcoming words! You do beautiful work. Did you have a place in mind for the cordwood home? I was thinking about buying a few acres in the U.P. and putting one up there.

  • Hi Anna! Thanks for the welcome! I'm hoping to be able to get out to Chi-town also! We'll see what happens.
    There isn't a whole lot going on up here - I did connect with a guy in Battle Creek who's working on a cob wall/bench in a park with some people. Apparently there's also a lady out by Detroit that does straw bale work. Hubby & I are planning for making a small house (first of three phases perhaps) on my parent's land in spring (should permits work out, etc). I'll keep you posted!
