7-Day Hands-On Men's Group Experience: Build an Underground House & Cultivate Brotherhood
Join us for a transformative 7-day workshop that combines the practical skills of building an underground house with the deep connection and wisdom that comes from working hand-in-hand with other men.
We believe the key to achieving your dream of affordable, visionary building lies in the strength of your community. This unique workshop blends hands-on learning with opportunities to forge powerful connections and friendships among like-minded brothers. A truly powerful and transformative Experience out on the land guided by a master builder and a transformational Mens Coach.
What We will Build
Together, we will construct a 16-foot diameter ferrocement lancet dome—a stunning round space perfect for ceremonies, a root cellar, a bedroom, or other creative uses. The dome will feature:
-
A skylight flooding the space with natural light.
-
A natural stone facade nestled into the hillside, blending seamlessly with the environment.
-
Year-round comfort, staying warm in winter and cool in summer.
-
Fire-resistant design, ensuring safety and longevity.
Who You'll Learn From
-
​Moritz Kerkmann Hood: A visionary community leader with more than a decade of experience in facilitating men’s work. Moritz will guide the emotional and relational aspects of the workshop, helping you cultivate brotherhood, personal growth, and meaningful connections.
-
Zachi Anderson: A master craftsman with over 25 years of experience in ferrocement construction and the creator of Nevada City’s beloved Tribute Suspension Bridge Trail. Zachi will teach you the essential skills needed to bring your visionary building projects to life.​​​
Why This Matters
Building alone is not the way forward. True visionary projects require the support and collaboration of others. In this workshop, you’ll not only gain valuable skills but also build a network of brothers who can support your journey.
This workshop is more than just a construction experience—it’s an opportunity to create a space that embodies functionality, beauty, and sustainability while strengthening your sense of connection and purpose.
Join us and unlock your potential as a builder, visionary, and member of a thriving community.

Moritz's Reflection:
-
"When I participated in my first outdoor building workshop, I camped on the land for 10 days. It was a transformative experience—I realized this is how I want to live my life: connected to nature, creating with my own hands, and witnessing the direct impact of my work. I returned home with a vision and a deep sense of self that still resonates with me today."
