Halloween en la casa de Esperanza

What if your compost pile could give you or your dog a warm bath?&nbsp;Join us at Esperanza&#39;s Sanctuary for a hands on build where we turn wood chips, food scraps, manure, and water into a working hot water system. Together we will assemble an outdoor compost heated water line that gravity feeds into a mixing setup, so warm water from the pile blends with cold water for a comfortable, safe temperature for a dog tub or outdoor rinse station.You will learn how a hot compost pile generates heat, how to coil and bury tubing so the pile does the work, how to set up a gravity fed line with no pump and no electricity, and how to mix and test water temperature so it is safe for pets and people. We will also cover how to make this work in our Coachella Valley reality: extreme summer heat, water conservation, and what to do with rinse water so it goes back to the land.This is a real build, not a lecture. Wear closed toe shoes, clothes that can get dirty, and bring gloves, a hat, and a water bottle. Families are welcome, and kids must be supervised by an adult at all times.Seating is limited to 15 participants. We are offering 5 pay what you can seats and 10 seats at $10 each, because practical climate skills should be accessible to everyone in our community. 100% of your ticket goes directly to Esperanza&#39;s Sanctuary Inc and is supporting our goal of raising 60,000 toward our Littlest Big Farm.&nbsp; Workshop Outline (about 3.5 hours)<ol fr-original-style="text-align: start;" style="text-align: start; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Welcome and Why This Matters (15 min) The story of Jean Pain, the French innovator who heated his water with compost, and why this old method fits a desert homestead.

Sky Valley does not do mild weather. We get triple digit summers, hard freezes, wind that flattens anything not bolted down, and everything in between. If we want food security here, we cannot depend on systems built for gentler climates. That is why we are partnering with From The Land LLC, the sustainable agriculture team out of Cherry Valley behind the Littlest Big Farm. Their compact, low energy growing structures are built to operate without grid tied power and to keep producing when conditions turn hostile. Bringing one onto Esperanza&#39;s Second Chance Sanctuary means a growing space that keeps feeding our rescued animals and our community programs regardless of what the desert throws at it. The full build is a $60,000 investment. $10,000 gets construction started. Every dollar past that gets us closer to a farm that does not stop producing when the weather does its worst, which out here is often.

Littlest Big Farm at Esperanzas Sanctuary

Gardening in the low desert is not for the faint of heart. Heat, wind, and that water bill will humble anybody. Let&#39;s grow anyway. This hands on 2 hour workshop covers what to plant and when, building soil that holds water, shade and wind protection, compost and mulch, and sizing a garden to the time and energy you actually have. Each session stands on its own, so come to one or all three. Everyone goes home with seeds or a seedling. Pay what you can. 100% of proceeds support the animals at Esperanza&#39;s Sanctuary.

Resilient Gardening Workshop

Little ones, big hearts, and a rescued animal friend waiting to meet them. Bring your preschool and kindergarten kiddos for a gentle 40 minute morning at the sanctuary. They meet one of our animal ambassadors up close, then settle in for a story that goes with the animal they just met. Staff handle the animals the whole time, so you can sit back and enjoy it. Bring a blanket if you like. Free with registration. Space is limited to 12 kids per session, so grab your spot early.

Climate Community Leadership Lab

What if your compost pile could run your shower? Spoiler: it can. A hot thermophilic pile runs 130&deg;F to 160&deg;F at its core and holds that heat for weeks. In this 3 hour hands on workshop, we build a working compost heated shower: coiling tubing through the pile, feeding it from a gravity tank, and pulling warm water out the other side. No electricity, no gas, no water heater. We also cover building a pile that gets hot and stays hot, checking water temps safely, maintenance, and using the same setup for a dog wash station or outdoor sink. Wear clothes and closed toe shoes you can get dirty in. Bring water, a hat, and gloves. Suggested donation $15 per person. Kids are free. 100% of proceeds support the animals at Esperanza&#39;s Sanctuary.

Hot Pile, Warm Paws: Build a Compost Heated Shower
