Immerse yourself in the cultural arts of some of the countries we teach in each year. Working with artisan cooperatives first took Jessi to Guatemala in 2009, and since then she prioritizes supporting women's and fair trade cooperatives around the world. Each yurt at Seven Springs is decorated with the art of different cooperatives from different indigenous cultures around the world.
Guatemala: The bright colors and patterns of Maya Guatemala are exemplified in their textiles. Hanging around this 15' yurt are weavings from different villages surrounding Lake Atitlan, while the two single beds are adorned with textiles depicting animals and other natural shapes. A child's Mayan Huipile (traditional shirt) also hangs on the wall, showing the art that is worn still do this day.
Mexico: This 15' diameter yurt features one queen bed draped in a naturally dyed and handwoven blanket from a women's cooperative based in Oaxaca City. On the desk is a handwoven rug from a family cooperative in Teotitlan del Valle, a small town with a rich tradition of artisan rug weaving. The walls are decorated with art depicting the Zapotista's connection with the earth from the Southern Chiapas region.

Peru: In our largest residential yurt, the walls are decorated with traditional Shapibo tapestries, depicting visions and designs from deep in the Amazon jungle. Each of the four single beds feature traditional woven fabric from the Sacred Valley region.
Bali: Interpretive paintings of women's traditional dance hang around this 15' yurt, interspersed with tapestries that are traditionally worn as skirts by both men and women. Our woven elephant end tables for the two single beds complete the island feel of this yurt! Cherokee: We equally want to honor the traditional peoples of the native land of Seven Springs, and so this 17' yurt features art, weavings, and posters of the Cherokee language and traditional Native American lands. The one queen bed in this larger yurt is draped in a blanket from Cherokee, NC. The Krystalyn Palace: This 18' yurt is a collection of different decorations and crystals from around the world. With three single beds and a large deck, this yurt enjoys scenic views and more privacy as it is tucked next to the forest on the hill. |
