Weapons Manufacturing Workshop -- Build Your Own Arsenal
How I reverse-engineered European rifles and built a local arms industry from blacksmith shops. Metallurgy, pattern analysis, toolmaking, quality control. My gunsmiths produced reliable copies of French Gras rifles in village forges. Tip: Any technology can be replicated if you understand the principles. Do not worship the tool -- understand it, then build your own.
Supply Chain Independence Workshop -- Self-Sufficiency
Building a self-sufficient military supply chain. Local manufacturing, resource management, trade network building, reducing dependence on external suppliers. The French tried to starve me of weapons. I built my own factories. Tip: Every dependency is a vulnerability. Every skill you outsource is a throat your enemy can cut.
Philosophy of Martial Arts Workshop -- Small Group
Small group session (max 6). We discuss Tao Te Ching, Krishnamurti, and the connection between combat and self-knowledge. Tip: Knowing is not enough, you must apply. Willing is not enough, you must do. Bring a notebook.
Signal Encoding Workshop -- Data Compression Before Computers
Small group (max 4). The principles behind Morse code, Braille, semaphore, and other encoding systems. How do you represent complex information with simple signals? How do you optimize for speed and reliability? Shannon formalized it 100 years later. I figured it out by counting type.
Entrepreneurship Workshop -- From Nothing to Empire
I started with $1.50 and a problem. I will teach you how to identify a market need from personal experience, develop a product, build a sales force, and scale without outside investment. No venture capital. No bank loans. Sweat equity and reinvestment. The Walker method for business.
Nature Writing Workshop -- Science as Literature
Small group (max 5). I will teach you to write about science with beauty and precision. Observe a tide pool, a meadow, a single tree -- then write what you see so that readers feel it. The Sea Around Us sold two million copies because people could taste the salt. Accuracy and poetry are not enemies.
Environmental Advocacy Workshop -- Science Meets Policy
How to translate scientific evidence into public policy change. I will teach you how to build an airtight case, anticipate industry counterattacks, write for legislators who do not read journals, and testify under pressure. The chemical industry threw everything at me. I had the data. Data wins.
Legacy Planning Workshop -- Write Your Own Obituary First
I read my own obituary and it horrified me. Merchant of Death. So I rewrote my legacy. This workshop: write the obituary you want published, then work backwards. What do you need to do between now and then? I will help you design a legacy that outlasts you. The Nobel Prizes are mine.
Braille Reading & Writing Workshop
Learn to read and write Braille. Six dots, 63 combinations, any language. In two hours you will write your name and read simple words by touch. Sighted people benefit too -- it sharpens tactile awareness and spatial thinking.
Accessibility Design Workshop -- Building for Everyone
Small group (max 5). Think about accessibility from the start, not as an afterthought. Blindfold exercises, navigation challenges, communication without sight. When you design for the most constrained user, you improve the experience for everyone. Curb cuts were designed for wheelchairs. Everyone uses them.
Acoustics & Sound Science Workshop
Two-hour hands-on session. We'll build a simple acoustic device, learn about frequency, amplitude, resonance, and why your voice sounds different on a recording. Tip: Sound is just vibration. If you understand vibration, you understand everything from music to earthquakes to how dolphins navigate.
Humanitarian Storytelling Workshop -- Making the World Listen
How to tell stories that move people to action. I learned this at UNICEF -- you can show a million statistics and nothing changes. Show one child's face and the whole world responds. We work on narrative, photography, and the courage to witness.
