soma earth TEACHINGS offers evening, weekend and week-long teachings integrating holistic principles of design, building and living sustainably with Nature. All week/end courses have a consistent format of Circle Form Principles, Energy Balancing techniques, various meditation methods, holistic & healthy gourmet food.
Sustainable Building with WOOD Part 2 will continue the themes introduced in WOOD Part 1 to create and build a small scale project to integrate carpentry basics, different options of sustainable wood building practices (reclaimed/recycled/ FSC certified/Timber Framing) and design principles into a weekend workshop. This weekend will focus on the construction of an outdoor solar shower and composting toilet shed, including an introduction to Timber Frame. There is no need to take Wood Part 1 in advance, and if you have, it will allow you the opportunity to develop your skills while also learning some new ones. The knowledge and information will provide you with the necessities to easily build your own solar shower shed at home!
