Our Signature Multi-Week Workshop Program
Rooted in our 55-year tradition of experiential education, our signature Multi-Week Workshop Program combines hands-on volunteer work with a core curriculum of discussion-based classes, seminars, and field trips and full immersion in the Arcosanti community. Workshop participants live onsite in a shared apartment, with full access to community amenities.
Workshop projects vary by season, the size of the group, and the current needs of the organization. In 2022. workshop participants have worked on erosion control, waste management systems, and site maintenance projects. The upcoming workshops may include (but are not limited to) projects related to groundskeeping, maintenance, agriculture, and educational development.
Graduates of this workshop join an international network of more than 8000 official Arcosanti and Cosanti alumni.
