When you think about a home made of clay, does it conjure up images of going back in time or something with which only hippies would be involved?
Well, I see it differently! If your thinking has advanced and you realise that you must go back in order to move forward, that combining ancient techniques with new ideas and methods is a way we can survive and live in a more sustainable way, then invest in your future and take part in this workshop between 17 and 21 April 2011 to learn from one of the most experience women on this topic: Paulina Wojciechowska. You will also have the chance to meet me! 
If you have access to a piece of land, the rest are limited only by your imagination. With a minimal investment, you can design the house of your dreams and live comfortably. Take a look here to see what Paulina has created.
Also, I have just finished a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) and I can advise you on how to harmoniously incorporate your beautiful new home into the landscape amongst animals, plants, water and renewable energy sources to have all your food, housing, energy and water that you need in a sustainable way…and not need to rely on anyone else! More info later….
As the flyer states:
“This workshop is a great introduction to earthen constructions. It demonstrates natural building techniques that can be used to transform your world. Locally sourced earth has been used for millennia to house humanity in healthy, effective, long-lasting and beautiful structures. During this intensive workshop, we will focus on building with cob (mixture of sand, clay and straw), lime and earthen plastering and natural floors. Covering topics such as design, foundation, drainage, natural floors and finishes, green roof construction, etc, we will familiarize with the fundamental principles of natural building, while acquiring the basic skills required for anyone to start his own building. Learn the magic behind the theory of clay through hands-on experience. You will find space for fun and creativity and expect a workout for the body and mind in contemporary community!”
