Are you ready for your next natural building experience?
Have you been looking for some inspiration for sustainable design?
Would you like to travel with a great group of like-minded people and experience a part of India rarely seen?
Natural Building is the use of natural and renewable materials to create shelter for ourselves: something humans have been doing for millions of years. Natural building helps us to connect to the ecosystems we are a part of and use resources that are abundantly available. Each bioregion on earth has historically developed a building vernacular that was based upon available resources. The sky's the limit as you can build anything from natural materials.

Natural homes are breathable, maintain a stable temperature and often designed in conjunction with passive-solar design principles, which means they use less carbon-intensive energy and more natural energy from the sun, wind and cooling effects at night. They say that passive homes need active people, and we need to start managing our own comfort over pushing a button.
