We learned a ton. Tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. We felt the tour could have benefitted from more structure to keep to the planned time. Our classroom time went 80 minutes instead of 40. A slide show demonstrating the concepts and finished look would have been helpful and broken up the classroom time. Demos would be cool - walking and talking could also make the tour move along faster while giving visual examples of the concepts and values discussed. We appreciate your work!

So glad I was finally able to go! Ryan was a kind and patient guide who answered all questions in our large group and made sure that everyone was included. The architecture of the EarthShips is so beautiful and unique and the off-the- grid self-sufficiency of the homes, how they are built and their systems, all of it is so encouraging. Thanks again to Ryan and to all members of the Greater Community for having us.

Learned a lot about sustainable living - it’s a study in how you can live off the grid - as our guide said: you can go from Flintstones to Jetsons style - as basic or fancy as you want.

Thank you for the tour but we have some suggestions for you: 1) stamping peoples hands at check in would remove the need to do a reconciliation of who is on the tour and paid for - we spent 30 minutes with the guide calling out names and trying to do a count. 2) consider first doing a tour of any homes that can be looked at and then the classroom. This way if you don’t want to spend an hour in the classroom you can still see some of the earth ships and ask a few questions.
