You will lose cell phone reception once you turn onto highway 111, and will have no signal—with the exception of satellite—once you arrive at the Shed ranch. We recommend enjoying a unique moment of pause, but if you do need phone connection, you are welcome to use wifi outside of Johnny and Maida’s home.

A MORNING ADOBE MEDITATION

For the adobe workshop, please come in a sun hat and appropriate clothes and shoes for mud-brick making. We’ll provide water, but if you can, please bring a refillable bottle.

Making and building with mud bricks is deeply intertwined with not just New Mexican culture but also with the / shed ecosystem. Start your morning by shaping the earth with us.

9:30AM

La Luz coffee and a light breakfast 

10AM

Adobe making at our property

11:30AM

A midday cool down with Una Lou Wines, / shed beers and honey soda

 

ACCOMODATIONS

For those traveling and wanting to stay closest to us, consider booking your stay at Cliff River Springs and Nosa Restaurant and Inn, or search for Airbnbs in the vicinity of Ojo Caliente. If you’re keen to check out Taos and spend a few hours around the pool, check in with our partners at Hotel Willa. And last but not least, if you’re looking to sleep under the stars, we’ll be offering free camping just outside of / shed site nearby—please email us at sheddinnerprojects@gmail.com for details.
