Gira Sol http://girasolbaja.org Natural Building Eco-developement Workshop Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:45:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 en http://girasolbaja.org/2007/09/13/hello-world/ http://girasolbaja.org/2007/09/13/hello-world/#comments Thu, 13 Sep 2007 18:00:00 +0000 admin Introducing GiraSol (Sunflower), a new permaculture settlement breaking ground in November 2007. We invite you to be a part of this amazing experience by participating in a nine-day course designed to bring you competency in Permaculture and Earthen Building Methods. Imagine yourself as part of that community…Living. Building. Playing.

This nine-day intensive design/build studio will combine natural building techniques (cobb, adobe, stone, straw/clay, passive/active heating systems) with presentations, discussions, exercises, and fun local field trips. GiraSol’s ground-breaking workshop will provide training in regenerative village design, natural construction and permaculture theory while establishing the GiraSol information center through hands-on work. The design will integrate a century-old adobe structure into a whimsical new building, seemingly sprung from the canvas of a Maxfield Parrish painting.

Led by mOceaN (Mark Lakeman), Lydia Doleman and Martin Schulke of Portland’s City Repair Project, the Gira-Sol intensive will take place from 10/27/07 to 11/04/07. We will be camping as a group in the beautiful Baja desert, and all meals will be provided.
