We had the most enriching time at our wigwam building workshop with Jeff Gottlieb and Thumbs Cassidy. We are humbled to witness how heart and earth connecting this ancient home building process is and we can't wait for you to visit Rustling Roots and have your own moving experience in the wigwam! We have been having many community meditations and song circle ceremonies in the wigwam since it has been built and look forward to many more connecting experiences in this sacred dwelling.
