Natural Building Workshop - Cob 19-22/7 2018
Natural building empowers people to take charge of their home. It allows them to envision it, adapt it to their true needs, and build it together with friends. Using simple means and natural materials (stone, wood, earth, and straw). Without excesses, energy pitfalls, and seeking the smallest possible ecological footprint, we create built spaces attuned with the environment. These spaces ensure ideal living conditions and exude a sense of tranquility and organic harmony. Natural building is a process and a prerogative extending from the practical to the realm of self-awareness and collectivity. Since the degree of freedom we experience is proportional to our self-sufficiency, let us take care of our health, nutrition, and housing ourselves.
Ideal for children too.
