Scythe Connection
We are not an "organization", although we co-organize some events and learning processes, and have conducted and motivated scythe-related research and design development. For lack of a better term to accurately describe our work, we use "network" to describe a very loosely-structured, ever-changing web of learning and working relationships. Far more of these are with people in Europe than in North America, some dating back to my first journey to Austria (Jan./Feb. 1999). We may work intensively with representatives of one or more institutions for several months while organizing an event; then our connections sometimes fade and new ones are born. Of all those contacts, only a few have remained steady and reliable. A percentage of them, however, can only be maintained by periodic visits in person, because some of the people do not have computers, or don't write letters. Overall, the telephone has been by far the most useful means of keeping the energy moving (learning of new developments, getting more people involved and sharing useful information).

As land steward and instructor, Joelee Joyce seeks to live and demonstrate a way to live on the Earth that takes care of the Earth, and people, and can produce a surplus to share. A conscious effort is made to introduce ways of thinking about the design of an entire site, while building and gardening and conserving water and other resources here in the Sonoran desert.

We offer workshops and consultations on whole site design, & sustainable living in the desert, which includes building with natural materials, as well as water harvesting, desert gardens, land restoration & more. We host workshops and training in most seasons here, and we provide general information and links to valuable resources, and materials for natural building, as well as printed and video resources. Our site is one of those used to host a day in the Permaculture Design Course here in Tucson, Arizona, taught by Sonoran Permaculture Guild members, as well as other Permaculture Design Courses in the region. We have proudly hosted events for school and college groups, international groups and individuals, seeking to live more lightly on the land.

Classes & special projects are ongoing, demonstrating desert water harvesting and gardening techniques, natural materials such as paints & plasters made from plant dies, natural clays & pigments, recycled building materials and other resources for building beautiful, creative, natural, low-cost extensions of the Earth. One of the things we have found is that it is a great way to learn about history and ancient techniques with materials that exist almost anywhere. Since some of these techniques are being lost over generations, it's really rewarding to be able to bring these ideas back to life.

WOOFERs and others interested in living sustainably are welcome to come and stay in the little straw bale casitas, as a quiet retreat space or as part of a work exchange/internship program that is ongoing here in the Sonoran desert. Email us for schedules and opportunities. Many thanks for your interest and support.
