[Cob] round homes

[michael hollihn]

nomadic shelters are a bit different being that the dweller doesn't
spend much time in the small shelter/tent (tp and yurt/ger) and the
chi/energy is funneled up/out into the smoke hole...if you like the
energetics to work in that way then go for it....there are no rules
only patterns of comfort levels
