Course summary

Come and participate in our Natural Building course, where you’ll discover the fundamentals of sustainable construction using natural materials. Live amidst our unique natural structures, immerse yourself in off-grid permaculture, connect deeply with nature, enjoy delicious, nutrient-dense organic meals, and take part in yoga sessions.

At Keela, all our buildings are crafted from natural materials, many of which are sourced directly from our land. This course will guide you through various natural building techniques, allowing you to engage in hands-on participation and witness the entire process from beginning to end throughout the week.

Experience life on an off-grid permaculture farm, where you'll not only learn about sustainable building but also enjoy farm-to-table cuisine and communal living.

Feel free to join this course on its own or take it alongside the Permaculture Design Course offered before it or the Permaculture in Practice course that follows.
