Hi Molly and Clare, I just got back from my morning walk during which I listened a podcast with an interview of you. Although I'd already heard others talking about your collective at a natural building workshop I attended in Willits this year. Always glad to here about more women in permaculture.

hey everybody! Thanks for having us. This is a mindbogglingly wonderful universe you have here. The Permaculture Podcast was fun to do - Scott Mann is such a generous interviewer and a philosophical soul! Should I put the link here...? Here goes -

I found the podcast. It was pretty great. Clare, you are so clever. I'm looking forward to seeing what unfolds here.
Hey clare, did you read the great review by Nicole above? She thinks we are a bit funny. ;)

Oh wow! That's such an awesome review. Thanks Nicole! You are right about the how-to's - we went light on the how-tos' in favour of the experiential & organizing aspects of keeping a group healthy and fun and sustainable. We continue to be inspired by some really great how-to books out there, and forums like permies.com where people can share their successes and challenges directly, so we thought we'd share what we think we have to offer that's kind of unique about us & the way we do things. That said, as you pointed out, there's a handy dandy tips section.
Quick n dirty, you might say, heh heh. Mud puns!! We just can't get enough.

The bit about pants! I nearly died! I had to have my husband read it (not out-loud! I didn't need my four year old getting ideas and dropping his drawers in defiance in public!)

What's up mudgirls!
      I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeves. I watched the review videos and it took me on a journey. I love what your doing; it inspired me to try  to make that mud bench and maybe a small structure.
                            Welcome!

Hello and welcome, just happy to see the building of basic human safety and security. If a population can slow down, that is warm dry safe place free from daily employment as a requirement to pay for unsustainable  buildings, we might create better governance. Basic safety and security provides time to think. I'll listen to the podcast tomorrow. Thanks.

Hi Molly and Clare
Welcome!
Was wondering if you had ever come across underground rammed earth house building? Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton say it´s the cheapest and quickest way to build following a ring/turkey nest dam/pond design making it flood proof, fire proof etc. I'm looking for anyone with info on the subject and experience building. Would love to build here in Spain and run it as a workshop so looking for a facilitator Would plan on using a digger for the main excavation rather than doing it by hand.
Any help / info would be most welcome.
Thanks
Lucy

Hi Molly and Clare, I love what you both are doing to make natural building accessible to everyone, including us with kids! It seems like we live in a society sometimes that forgets individuals once they have kids, or just isn't flexible with that. I was going to take a workshop with ya'll a few years ago when my son was little, and things fell through, but it was empowering for me to feel welcomed into your community with my son. So thank you!
