INNERMOST HOUSE SPEAKS for the transcendental strain of "plain living and high thinking" that unites the core of the American experiment with traditions of wisdom and simplicity the world over, as historically represented in this country by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond.

  Innermost House publications have reached millions of people in over 100 nations of the world. Innermost House has been featured in House Beautiful, Fine Homebuilding, The Oregonian, Mother Earth Living, Green Style, The Examiner, Furniture and Home Fashion, Yahoo and AOL Homepages, Kiplinger, Tiny House Blog, Fair Companies, and hundreds of websites, books and newspapers around the world. Its record has been translated into languages from Spanish, French and Italian, to Turkish and Pakistani, to Japanese and Chinese. Innermost House has been judged the World's Favorite Small House, the Most Beautiful Tiny House in the World, and the Most Inspiring Small House Ever.Our speakers appear all across the United States. Each month we speak at private events hosted by social organizations and businesses, and publicly at universities, historical societies, environmental organizations and elsewhere. Every year we offer up to twenty courses at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, the nation's second oldest institution of higher learning. Every summer we sponsor a thematic panel at the annual conference of the Thoreau Society, America's oldest and largest author society. It has been suggested that, if one wishes to know how a latter-day Henry Thoreau would respond to the modern world, Innermost House is in many ways among our most provocative answers.
