What to expect

The weekend begins with dinner and a slide show and discussion of the concepts and history of Earthships. The following day begins with a morning lecture; the afternoon is devoted to on-site tire pounding, mudding, and building can walls. Sunday is split between additional lectures and touring a variety of completed Earthships in The Greater World Community, including the Phoenix. The lecture series includes explanation and demonstration of the systems packages, and addressing individual participant's questions. Reviewing the Earthship books and videos prior to the seminar will help you get the most out of this experience.

What to bring

For Saturday's hands-on session bring clothes that you don't mind destroying, sturdy closed-toed shoes, sunscreen, drinking water and a sack lunch. You will need a pair of rubber gloves and a pair of leather work gloves.

Comments:
I want to point out a few things that we discovered during the SSA workshop we attended in September 1997. We saw several families bringing their children ages 3 and up to the workshop. They were making it a family venture from A - Z. Even the 3 year olds brought rubber gloves and were helping to build can walls with mommy and were apparently having a great time. During the workshop you get to see things that you normally don't with touring an already built ship. Many finally see that it is going to take quite a bit longer to build than they first thought about. Planning for 2 - 3 years or more of temporary shelter becomes a necessity unless you plan on building a small VeeGee (packaged) preplanned kit first. Prior to the workshop, my family wasn't yet sold on the concept and after renting one for a week it was hard to get them to leave to go home.
