Natural Building Workshops
The best way to learn natural building is through practice. At Turiya, we are not only preserving ancient methods like wattle and daub but also teaching innovative solutions like strawbale, slipstraw, and aircrete (upcoming). The knowledge we share is both local and global, traditional with a modern twist — helping you create comfortable, breathable living spaces inspired by nature.
