10-Day Natural Building and Deep Ecology Gathering: A hands-on intensive in the art of sustainable living and building. Sequatchie Valley Institute at Moonshadow, Dunlap, Central Tennessee, USA, July 18-27, 2003

During this 10-day hands-on intensive in the beautiful hills of Tennessee we worked on several projects, including an earthbag dwelling, a round-pole gazebo, an adobe rumford fireplace, alizing inside a cob house, and weatherizing 2 old cabins with natural insullation.

This was the 2nd of what may become an annual Natural Building gathering at Sequatchie Valley Institute. As a non-profit ecological educational organization, Sequatchie Valley Institute plays an integral part in this 30 year-old, 350 acre family homestead. Their projects run the gamet, including Media Rights, documenting eco-activism; workshops and internships in permaculture, food preservation, seed-saving, organic gardening, alternative energy and deep ecology; crafts such as glasswork, ceramics, jewelry, and herbal medicine-making.
