About
Earth Rise
offers personalized Bioconstruction Workshops for organizations and individuals. We empower students of all ages to build with raw natural materials that are unprocessed and are found locally. Bioconstruction is a way of building that results in spaces that are healthy for both our bodies and our local ecosystems. Workshops offer participatory construction experience that fosters group collaboration and relation to traditional methods of building.
