Join us for our next Adobe Workshop! Help preserve the historic El Corazón Sagrado de la Iglesia de Jesús while learning traditional adobe restoration techniques alongside our dedicated crew and community members.

This hands-on workshop offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the preservation of a historic church while gaining valuable experience in traditional adobe building methods. Work alongside experienced craftspeople and community members in the beautiful setting of Joey Benton’s Adobe Yard.

Time Change: Due to summer heat, we’re starting earlier—we plan to begin work at 8:00am, ending at 1:00 (without our usual lunch break).
