NATURAL BUILDING WORKSHOP: With Mark Lakeman & Awesome Local Teachers #mudlove

Most problems are missed opportunities. The flip side of every problem is a solution. - Mark Lakeman

The natural building movement sits at the nexus of a growing global network of solutions-oriented initiatives that affirm and strengthen harmonious ways of living on Earth. We believe that natural building practices can play a profound role in supporting a thriving humanity and planet, free of financial debt and toxicity. Want to learn Natural Building this summer?

Our friends at Permaculture School are excited to welcome instructor Mark Lakeman back to Asheville.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
In honor of Pollinator Week

“There is one masterpiece, the hexagonal cell, that touches perfection. No living creature, not even man, has achieved, in the centre of his sphere, what the bee has achieved in her own: and were some one from another world to descend and ask of the earth the most perfect creation of the logic of life, we should needs have to offer the humble comb of honey.” - Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life Of The Bee, 1924
