We invite you in a week dedicated to Permaculture!!!
Calme Garden welcomes Chan Sac Balam, designer, consultant and teacher of Permaculture who operates in the eco-community L’Oasis de Serendip in the region La Drome of France.
With his energetic mood and his great passion for Nature, Earth and sustainable living, he is going to introduce us to the basic principles of Permaculture and to the way we can use this knowledge to create eco-systems and cultivations compatible and friendly towards Nature and Human . How we can apply methods of raw material and waste management in a way that doesn’t harm the planet but benefits us and the environment, looking towards a bright future with cooperative relationships and abundance.
During the weekend workshop Andreas from the Stagones neighborhood will help us to explore natural building techniques and materials as well as bio-climatic design principles. We will cover all fundamental topics (foundations, drainage, structural elements, walls, roofs) and gain experience while working on small-scale projects. Playing with mud is great fun for young and old; cob, stone and wood will be the materials we’ll use. Furthermore, we will be able to design the shelter (or school!) of our dreams and make a model of it. Be there!
