We are proud to present our new house for individual therapy sessions - TARU (The Hive).
We start with planning and design in January. We build a wooden structure (February), we fill this structure with strabales (March). Foundation with sandbags will be "rammed" in place in April and in May we raise the wall frames and start with the Mandala roof.
We continue with the living-roof construction in June and hope to prepare the walls for clay plastering.
If you are interested to join our small team just send an e-mail
and we send you detailed program of activities on this month.
Don't miss the fun of natural building!
