After
a class at CalEarth learning earth bag construction in the hopes of
using it to build a home of her own someday, Lindsey was talking to
a friend who had land in the Mojave she was looking to sell.
Lindsey bought the land and established Wonder Valley Domes. The
goal of Lindsey's project is not only to build her own affordable
superadobe home, but to build free art studios out of sand bags and
earth. In this episode, she
talks about acquiring her living quarters, Winnie the Winnebago and
how a dating app turned out to be a tool for recruiting volunteers
to help dig, refine and sculpt the domes. Lindsey talks about the
logistics of living in a place with no running water or electricity
and the ingenuity that comes from the lack of these modern
conveniences. See a video about Lindsey and the domes here.
