Hammer & Heart- Crafting Resilience

Hammer & Heart- Crafting Resilience

$250.00

Join us this Fall at Sunny Joy Farm in Talent, OR for a six-session workshop designed for boys ages 11–15. Together we’ll expand our chicken coop to welcome more hens (and more eggs!) and construct a composting toilet to support a resilient, land-based way of life. Along the way, participants will learn basic construction skills, work with tools, and experience the satisfaction of building something lasting with their own hands.

Beyond building, this is an opportunity for mentorship, teamwork, and connection with the rhythms of farm life in a restorative environment. With small group size (limited to 5 students), each participant receives close guidance and encouragement while becoming part of a growing community farm.

Meet your mentors

Rylan Mount is a parkour athlete, coach, and youth mentor who found his calling through movement. At age 13, while struggling with school and undiagnosed dyslexia, he discovered parkour—and it changed everything. What began as a personal outlet quickly became a path of transformation, leading him to dedicate over a decade to the art of movement. With more than 10 years of training and 5 years of coaching experience, Rylan now guides others to face fear with curiosity, build confidence through play, and connect authentically through embodied action. His work with youth, including programs like Boys to Men (now Alliance of Generations), reflects his passion for mentorship and community. Whether coaching, performing, or mentoring, Rylan brings a grounded presence and a fierce belief in the potential of every individual.
