About Sustainable Construction Workshops & Training

Why We Do What We Do

Building isn’t just about bricks and walls for us - it’s about making something meaningful with your own hands. Our workshops are a space for anyone curious about hands-on sustainable building, especially folks who want to move beyond just theory. We really care about lifting up women in construction, seeing them go from helpers to skilled leaders.

What You’ll Actually Do

No boring lectures here. You’ll be right there with us, mixing mud, prepping lime, and ramming earth. We teach practical stuff:

• Using natural building materials on real sites
• Earthbag construction skills for strong, fast builds
• Plastering techniques from Morocco and Rajasthan
• Bamboo wattle and daub with upcycled fibers (sometimes even dog hair - it works!)
• Gabion and bottle walls, for putting waste to good use

You’ll leave knowing the feel of each material and how ancient methods can be reimagined for today.

Who Shows Up Here

We’ve had students, architects, construction workers (lots of women!), DIY fans, and people just keen on sustainable living. Doesn’t matter if you’re new or experienced, you’ll find your spot.

Our Core Belief

We really believe anyone can learn this. Like we say here, “Pengalaala mudiyaadhadhu edhuvum illai. Seiyalamnuttu adhu oru manasula irundha adha senjidum.” (Nothing women can’t do. If you’ve got the will, you’ll get it done.) That’s the energy you’ll find at every workshop.
