Snohomish woman offers a course to help simplify your lifestyle Live off the grid: Do you yearn to get back to older, simpler ways of living?Then check out the SongCroft School's Self-Sufficiency Program, a 10-month apprenticeship-style course. The SongCroft School is the brainchild of Marilene Richardson, a simple-living advocate who lives with her family in a sustainably built home in the woods outside Snohomish, along with chickens, an extensive garden and forest trails. In her self-sufficiency program, which begins Jan. 17, Richardson will teach a variety of techniques for living off the land, including seed starting and saving, amending soil and composting, plus small livestock rearing, knot tying, water saving and how to start a cottage industry, among other topics. Tuition is $975 per person for 14 classes, which includes more than 78 hours of training through theory and hands-on opportunities. Classes meet on weekends once a month, alternating between one- and two-day sessions. Applications are due Jan. 9. See www.songcroft.com or call 360-863-1820 for an application.
