Workshop Opportunities in Tasmania

Dani and Agari crew will be hosting an awesome workshop in Tassie this coming April. 

Agari Earthship Building Workshop (April 3 – 24, 2016)

TASMANIA ($1500 FOR 3 WEEKS OR $600 FOR A WEEK)
Join AGARI NATURAL BUILDERS to build a ’2U’ sized Earthship using natural and recycled materials in the beautiful lands of Tasmania. This 3 week workshop will cover the Earthship systems with greenhouse, grey water planters, electrical systems, a living roof and use of Cob, Bottle Walls and Tyre Walls. This is a great introduction to natural building and various techniques you can use to build your own home. Practical and theoretical knowledge in a supportive & fun learning environment from a crew of trained Earthship Biotecture builders!
For details head to Agari's website

Membership Update and Reminder

2014/15 have definitely been transitional times for the group with a number of events and opportunities but mostly watching to growth of our friends and networks as they evolve their own natural building companies and programmes which we continue to support.

Though we are still only an incorporated association with no paid staff we do have ongoing costs such as web upkeep, insurance, administration and basic organisation to continue to be able to offer services and connections to the wider community regarding Earthship building opportunities and workshops in Australia.

Thanks to you and your support we have managed to just stay afloat and will continue to endeavour to provide regular meetings, seminars, workshops and newsletters for people to keep them engaged with what's going on in the world of Natural Building and Earthships.

We have a pretty simple membership plan.

If you have paid $45 it gives you 3 years membership but if you only paid $20 then it's probably time to renew your membership as it only lasts for one year.

Membership allows you to get discounts at Earthship Australia events and workshops and first preference for workshops we hold.  It also gives you a fuzzy feeling that you are supporting a grass roots organisation dedicated to supporting alternative building practices and communities across Australia on very little money.

Please continue to show your support but updating your membership here and share this email around to anyone who might be interested in supporting this unique organisation.

With further funds we would be able to apply for grants and expand our networking and hopefully develop a fully functioning Natural Building Australia connection and workshop page which has been on the cards for years.
Thanks again and happy 2016
