Ulinawi Natural Building Project

Please call for directions – do not google or mapquest without also talking to us (or prepare to get potentially lost)

We will host intern volunteers (work share arrangement) during 2010.

This program will be led by Bradley from ulinawi, the homestead next door to Moonshadow, and will focus on earthen building, cob and/or earthbags and rammed earth tires. Bradley has a degree in Natural Building from New College of California.

The workshop will also address foundation solutions like french drains, rubble trench foundations, and poured adobe floors.

More info from Bradley:

This season ulinawi is taking off with new agricultural and building projects! We will be pasture-farming chickens, working towards a more animal-integrated landscape, as well as developing garden beds and row crops.

Also, we are simultaneously working on revolutionarily simple rural family housing and permanent earthbag and timber-frame thousand-year dwellings. other projects for this year will include developing a vermiculture system (worms), experimenting with rabbit breeding and mushroom cultivation, and of course, taking care of our goats.

We’re  just getting off the ground, so accommodations are still very rustic. Currently we are completely solar powered, and stream-fed (we have very good water). You can come with a tent and bedding, or rent or buy a used tent from us. meals are simple, space is plentiful, and the work is healthy and unending. We’re not profitable yet, so we ask $5/day from our interns and visitors.

    hi! the Ulinawi Natural Building Project sounds wonderful and I am excited about the possibility of helping you all. I am not free until Sept and was wondering if you will still be building then. If so, please tell me a bit more about the project, costs, and what help you need. thanks!
