We've come a long ways since our first domes which were made of clay bricks and cinder blocks. Now we'll teach you how to build your own dome home with AirCrete - an amazing material that you can make yourself almost as easy as making pancake batter. Learn to build a low cost dome home that is waterproof, fireproof, termite proof, rot proof, insulated, eco friendly, non toxic, and durable against the forces of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.
*Additional notes: During the 10-day workshop we build a basic AirCrete dome structure. We do our best to complete the dome during the workshop, however there is no guarantee of completion. Unexpected obstacles like weather conditions, for example, may prevent the dome’s completion. Plumbing, electrical, and finish flooring etc, will be discussed, however these details will be completed after the workshops.

SPECIAL GUEST INSTRUCTOR: Steve Areen!

We are super excited to announce that our dear friend Steve will be instructing at our Portugal workshop! His famous dome home in Thailand, built for less than $10k, help to put DomeGaia on the map. Check out his newest creation, the Unity Wagon, at his website: SteveAreen.com

Meals:  Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be shared together, and served in an open-air dining area. All accommodation options include meals.
