Cordwood Construction Workshop in Chattanooga, TN

Want an excuse to visit Tennessee this fall?

We’re bringing our Cordwood Workshop back after such a positive response last year! 🌲🪵

Come spend a weekend in the Chattanooga mountains at Talking Water Nature Retreat — learning a hands-on skill, exploring a beautiful natural setting, and getting away from the usual weekend routine.

During the workshop, you'll learn how to build with cordwood, get plenty of hands-on experience, and tour completed natural buildings around the property.

When you're not building, there are hiking trails, creeks, firepits, cabins and plenty of space to slow down and enjoy the retreat.

You don't need any building experience — just come curious and ready to get your hands dirty.

Make a Tennessee getaway out of it. Come learn something new, spend time outdoors, and experience a pretty unique corner of Chattanooga.

📅 October 23–25
📍 Talking Water Nature Retreat | Chattanooga, Tennessee
🏕 Camping & cabin lodging available

Last year's workshop was such a great experience that we couldn't resist doing it again.
