Natural Building with Spirit Workshops 2013                                       
Join
us this summer, as we construct a complete cottage, from foundation to
roof. During your 5 day stay, you will join us on the progression of the completion of this Cob cottage.  You will learn about earthen floors, finish plasters,
electrical, plumbing, solar water heating, grey water harvesting, and
sustainable living practices.  Our workshops are comprehensive and
expansive.  We will learn about permaculture practices for designing
your own food garden, natural herbs for medicine, and creating your own
orchard.  
The
workshops include lessons in meditation, yoga, and community living.
 You will have the opportunity to attend two yoga and meditation
sessions per day.  As part of the workshop, you will enjoy camping at
the Ananda Village,  a drug and substance free environment.  
You
will get to immerse yourself in the study of natural building and
natural living, while being served and attended to by our staff and
apprentices.  Natural Building is hard work, but you will get to enjoy
the fruits of your labor, as you take home all of your experiences and
newly found confidence in sustainable building.  
During
our workshops, you will learn everything you need to know about natural
building in a condensed learning program so you can get the most out of
our workshops.  Our workshops are designed for those people that cannot
take a lot of time off work to participate in the apprentice program,
but are interested in gaining the same knowledge in natural building at a
fraction of the time.  
By
signing up to our workshops, you will make the 2013 projects possible.
 Your support is crucial in making this year’s building a reality.  By
signing up to our workshops, you will be named on our website as part of
the 2013 Natural Building Team, and you will get a T-shirt, copies of
the architectural plans, including the engineer’s drawings, an
electronic copy of the project’s photo journal from beginning to end, a
tour of Ananda Village and the natural buildings, and a free
consultation when you are ready to build your own natural building.  By
registering for our workshops, you become a key financial supporter and a
backer of the Natural Living School.
