Review of Earthship Biotecture

Really great organization, I was able to work here...

Really great organization, I was able to work here for a week through an alternative break program with my university. We were able to do a lot of work, including laying concrete, building/plastering walls, and terracing the roof, so we got a good understanding of how an earthship works. It was very cool and the workers were all very welcoming and chill. I had such a great experience that I ve thought about applying for an internship. We also stayed a night in the Phoenix Earthship. The stay was incredible, well worth the price.

One interesting/slightly creepy aspect of the organization is how they portray the founder, Michael Reynolds. Not to say he s not an awesome dude and a visionary, but our group watched the documentary when we stayed in the Phoenix and it felt a little culty. Nothing malevolent, but it s just a little weird how much they adore this guy.

Overall, a very interesting experience, a tour of the compound is a must see if you re even remotely close to Taos.
