Swaraj University
Come play, learn and get muddy muddy muddy!!!
Get closer to nature; the elements. We will be working with the earth, water, sun and air at the beautiful Tapovan Ashram, nestled in the mountains of Udaipur.
Open for anybody willing to work hard and get dirty while having fun.
What does this gathering offer?
This workshop provides an introduction to basic earth building techniques, through interactive hands-on processes, discussions and explorations. Techniques that will be explored include wattle and daub, earth bag, cob building, etc. You will be able to understand the earth to work with it using some testing techniques.
There will be games, dances, maybe even a few films.
