Hello,
 
I'm looking for information regarding natural building classes, workshops, or contractors in the Denver area.  I'm interested primarily in cob and strawbale construction methods, and I'd like to be employed by a builder of such structures, find organizations that teach techniques for these methods, or both.  If anyone can point me in the right direction, your help would be appreciated. 
 
Thanks!
 
Jonathan

Jonathan, try contacting Steve Eagleburger (sleteb at earthlink dot
net) of www.birambye.org. He's put on alternative building workshops,
done earth block structures and thin shell concrete roof structures

THE RED EARTH Said a tree to a man, "My roots are in the deep red earth, and I shall give you of my fruit." And the man said to the tree, "How alike we are. My roots are also deep in the red earth. And the red earth gives you power to bestow upon me of your fruit, and the red earth teaches me to receive from you with thanksgiving." by Kahlil Gibran from The Wanderer (1932
