The Crooked Forest Podcast
There is a decades-old relationship between natural building and the chemically sensitive population. Now that demographic is growing and even those who aren’t sensitive know that chemicals are everywhere and are affecting us. Recently, affordable housing usually has not equaled healthy housing. But old methods of building with earth/adobe that were local, affordable and healthy are still possible to build now, and affordably! This podcast highlights what it means to be Environmentally Sensitive and how to create an environmental solution by living in a whole neighborhood that is designed for its microbiome.

Join us for an Interview with Leah Olson, the Community Outreach Coordinator for Community Rebuilds in Moab, Utah. Community Rebuilds is a visionary affordable housing program that pairs natural building with a community land trust and finishes 12 to 16 houses a year using volunteers, interns and home-owners to keep workforce housing affordable in a crazy market. Their inclusionary education model was just celebrated by Patagonia, and as Leah will tell you, it's the people that make the magic in this amazing rolemodel program.
See how they pulled off creating the first affordable home to meet the Living Building Challenge by focusing on carbon-negative, locally sourced materials, passive solar design, water catchment and an almost zero-waste build site. Learn more about their process in this The World's First Affordable Living Buildings.

Join us for an hour of conversation about the origin story of Crooked Forest Institute, with an interview by Kristen Lundgren, for her local radio show called "Interconnect." It begins with the health saga of getting sick in America, a hero's journey and then the crystal clarity that the world would be better with one hundred more tiny adobes.
