Australian Natural Building Website needs your Help

For many people wanting to get involved in natural building workshops, open days, courses and events, the most common question we hear is 'how do I find out more about this stuff?'

After years of intermittent opportunities, limited social media scope and issues with reaching and connecting with the demand  - the natural building scene in Australia is finally growing with an awesome regular program and a wide range of opportunities for people young and old, new or old hat, wealthy or just starting out.

In trying to co-ordinate and amalgamate all natural building events to provide better access for both the public and natural building teachers, a new website will be unveiled later in the year which will combine events, workshops, professional directories and a calendar to enable this small but devoted network to expand.

In order to proceed this project needs supportive funding which will go towards building a specialised site which will allow tailored access for workshop providers and an interactive calendar for people interested to be able to plan ahead and get involved.  It will also provide a page/forum for services and materials as well as an opportunity to advertise for volunteer labour.  The scope for this website is not limited and can grow to reflect the needs of our community.

Your support is crucial for this enterprise to go ahead

Please share this email with anyone who is currently providing opportunities to get involved in natural building events or workshops in Australia

Introductory Membership for workshop providers and Professional Services for one year is $70 for unlimited posts on the webpage. Included is regular e-bulletins nation-wide and regular social media posts and updates.  You can tailor your Bio to best represent your particular service or program and help grow the site to become the first stop for natural building in Australia.

Please follow the link here to register your group/company/service and help this project be realised.  If you are a supporter of natural building in Australia and want to help us move forward your donations are more than welcome too.


Natural Building is a growing industry and in order to expand, a general and all-inclusive website is sorely needed to provide access to people beyond social media.  It is important to provide a central place for information to get as many people involved in this great activity and build futures for ourselves in providing help and resources for people wanting to build their own natural building projects.


Thank you

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
