 Greetings from Southern Vermont - Here's what's happening with Dickinsons Reach Yurts: There's an upcoming Taper-Wall yurt workshop..... Here in our own backyard...... on East Mountain in Guilford, VT.... SOON. We'll raise a 24' diameter yurt in 3 consecutive 4-day weekends. (Sept 30 - Oct 3, Oct 7 - 10, and Oct 14 - 17th 2022). Wanna join the crew for the whole build or just part of it? More info and Register here. This yurt will be 314 sq ft of insulated floor space and have glass windows. In the future it will be a residence - or a workshop space - or both. AND, The other piece of ENORMOUS news is that back in June we raised a GIANT free-span yurt at the MOST BEAUTIFUL site of Experience Learning in West Virginia.  It's a 40' diameter free-span pavilion yurt. As far as I know, it's the BIGGEST free-span taper-wall yurt to date. We had an awesome crew. A huge thanks to all of the hands that participated. I've recently updated the dryurts.com website - and lots of pictures of this build can be found here. Thanks to skyview.org and Erika Vikander for sharing these pictures!  Maybe you want one of these GIANT YURTS for your education, retreat, or gathering center? It's a lot of fun to learn about yurt math and raise a yurt by hosting a yurt workshop.
Yurt Sauna Plan The yurt Sauna Plan is still in the works. For all those of you who are patiently waiting for the plan - it is still coming! Our family's personal life is in a bit of a whirlwind as we are prepare to move - but, the sauna plans are still happening. In the meantime we continue to test the yurt sauna on our homestead and it never fails to please. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can't make the October yurt raising? Don't fret, there are a couple yurt workshops in the works for 2023 and 2024 - I'll spread the word about these as things are firmed up. If you have any questions about custom taper-wall yurt designs, yurt plans or hosting a yurt workshop, visit dryurts.com or email me. kindly, Mike
