Girls, get a lotus house

Submitted by Kat Ehrhorn on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 15:22

Tired of seeing your man pettered out after builiding your retreat cabin every day?  Build your place yourself and let him put his feet up a spell. Pool party retreat spaces are easy to assemble, with four girls, some umbrella drinks and three weeks. Get in on the bikini crew summer 2010.

Hi again,

With
spring upon us, its time to recruit the Bikini Adobe Crew Summer 2010. Last
year’s crew was successful in producing a thousand blocks and we need to make
that many again for the Peace Shrine.

 

Secondly,
Lotus Houses will need crews four Dakinis in size (Dakas also welcomed) to make
cast adobe and block domes for retreatants and caregivers. In three weeks you
can see one built. Stay longer, see more, build more.

It's really fun and easy to do, and is so satisfying. Consider also how quite uncommon this activity is in our culture to build from mud in this way.

 

Anyone can work with the recycled paper adobe. It’s
lightweight and non-toxic. We’re enjoying an amazing collection of ancient methods
that have housed humans for over four thousand years, made by the village women
and children, the grandmothers throughout semi arid regions of the world. Individual
energy output while making the domes still supports lively conversations, snacks,
dancing, drumming, books, facials and pedicures.
We all have fun and we have energy too for yoga and a good meditation practice.
It’s not hard work at all. But, okay, it does feel great to go to bed early, or
hit the hot springs down the road.

Our
Nahtual temescal is nearing inauguration, so while you’re here also enjoy a
healing sweat lodge and plunge in the spring.  

In addition to adobe, there are garnering projects
on-going through the summer (actually this has started already and you could
come now). One day a
week we harvest any of the several abundant, nutritious and tasty food species
of this land and we process it. This includes mesquite, prickly pear, water
cress, amaranth and all the free fire wood we need. We harvest a one-year
supply of each item for 70 people.

Okay,
that’s the goal. Can we do it? We need your help, please. It takes a village to
care for a village, and it’s such a lovely way to spend some days or weeks, lifetimes,
under starry desert sky. Please come and be part of the fun, the healing, in
amazing service. We need your help. And the refreshments are always wonderful.

Contact
Kat if you can come play in the mud.

And call
it service-for-a-good-cause to boot.
