Haven Earth Tradeschool is your gateway to the future of regenerative building. We empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to craft structures that coexist harmoniously with nature.
Our carefully curated courses cover the art of building with hempcrete, unlocking the secrets of natural plastering, the inner workings of Mittleider Gardening and the logistics of setting up Private Membership Association.
We are the nexus where architectural craftsmanship meets eco-logic innovation geared to train, teach and document the how's and why's in formats that work for everyone.
Imani and River have merged their shared visions by co-founding the Haven Earth Tradeschool located at Haven Village in Old Fort, Tennessee focused on essential skills and trades necessary for building resiliency and returning to the land.
An innovative incubator to serve as a hub for learning while growing a community of natural builders and homesteaders looking to get back to the land. Through hands-on workshops and training, they impart their wisdom to ensure the essential life skills that foster resiliency are passed down to the future generations.
The Haven Earth Trade School encourages individuals to discover their passion and develop their skills so they can become empowered and resilient. Our approach is centered on imparting tangible skills in natural building, regenerative agriculture, off-grid homesteading, and self-sufficiency. We offer Natural Building Internships for those looking to expand their skills as well as Mentorships for Youth (17-20 years) to learn hands-on at our location in Tennessee.
