The Inagural Edition of the Dickinsons Reach Newsletter

I know you have been wondering - what's been happening in our world of taper-wall yurts?  And why has it taken so long to send out this inaugural newsletter?  I'll explain.

A New Website! - Yes, a new website describing What is a Taper-Wall Yurt, background story on how Dickinsons Reach Yurts emerged into existence, info about upcoming Yurt Workshops, as well as a plethora of yurt pics.  I hope you like it. 

Yurt Plan Digital Payments - After receiving ever more requests for digital payments for Yurt plans, you can now order and pay for plans through the new website on the Yurt Plans Page.  Of course, you can also always acquire your yurt plans via snail mail.  Or, even better - send me a note professing your love of yurts.    



​Yurt Sauna Plan - A new Taper-Wall Yurt Plan is in the works for a Yurt Sauna.  We built one on our homestead in Southern Vermont and have been rigorously testing it.  It is awesome.  We built another at Smithereen Farm in Pembroke, ME this past July.  Plans are expected to be ready in March of 2022.   
Here's an incredible timelapse of the Greenhorns Yurt Sauna build.  We had fun.

Yurt Workshops in 2022 - Things are lining up for some yurt workshops in 2022 -

• June 1 - 14, 2022 - A Large Open Pavilion Free-Span Yurt - Spruce Knob, WV at the site of Experience Learning.  Contact Jackie Lambert if you're interested in helping.  [email protected]
• July 2022 - Triple Yurt - three 20'  artist residence yurts at the Greenhorns campus in Pembroke, ME.  Plans are still getting fleshed out on these, details to come.  
• Fall 2022 - We are in conversation about another large Free-Span Yurt for the fall - more details to come!

The real reason it has taken so long to get this newsletter out to the world is that time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.
