The Living Workshop is being built by hand, in the open, on what the workshop itself earns — plus the people on this page. Every dollar goes into the buildout and the documentation. When a piece of the system works, its plans go open source. Support doesn't build one workshop; it builds all of them.
Named the way the mushroom grows: spore, primordia, mycelium, fruiting body.
Small and mighty. Spores are how the whole thing starts.
The first pins emerging. Something visible takes shape.
The network that connects everything. This is the tier that moves things.
Major support. You make visible, tangible things happen here.
Whether it's $10 or $10,000, one-time contributions go straight into tools, tents, lumber, and land fund. You'll see what it bought in the journal and on the streams — that's the deal with building in the open.

Timber framing, permaculture, electrical, plumbing, renewable energy — if you know it, we want to learn it.
Lumber, tools, sensors, solar panels, substrate materials. The loop can digest almost anything useful.
Share a video, forward the letter, tell one person. The network grows one connection at a time.
First we build it and prove it works. Then the plans belong to everyone.The open-source promise
