[Cob] Natural building apprentice opportunities at Ahimsa Sanctuary!

[ocean]

Hello Everyone!

We are resuming our natural building projects at Ahimsa Sanctuary this 
summer during July, August and September.

We have two existing cob buildings nearing completion, and will be 
building a smaller kiosk shelter from the ground up (foundations, 
drainage, etc.)  We are completing finish plaster on the cob kiva, and 
it is looking very beautiful!  This is an excellent opportunity to 
learn all aspects of cob building - an ancient technique for 
constructing very low cost, ecological and beautiful structures out of 
natural materials - earth, sand and straw.

The location is Ahimsa Sanctuary, just outside of Philomath on the edge 
of the Mary's Peak Watershed.  We offer volunteer apprentices great 
food (from our organic restaurant - yum!), camping on 25 acres of 
forested land, friendly company of other builders and two fun dogs, 
even a sauna when the work is done.  For those interested in organic 
farming, we are also involved with several market garden and seed 
growing projects.

You can come to learn and help out for a weekend, a week, a 
month...please email me if you are interested and I'll get you 
directions.  Check out our websites below for more info on our retreat 
and restaurant.

Blessings,
