A few years ago, Dave Berzonsky and Estela Knott, who run Blue Ridge Music Together, added a yurt to their backyard with dreams of opening a preschool. And they did—for a couple years while their girls, Luna and Mareana, were little, they used it as a homeschool cooperative. These days, the yurt has morphed into a quiet space for their two girls, ages 7 and 5. “It’s a hang out spot for our kids, our music making, meditation and as a little get away from the buzzing keneticness of our house,” Estela says.
