    Hello everyone ..we are a Yogi couple having our own small yoga center here and start a new project in South east Crete in a Village called Tertza...we are thinking of a place where people can come and stay for some time or longer and do permaculture together as well as playing music ( there is a studio in progress) and do some yoga & meditation ...we have started with a Cob house a would need some people to help..this time we need people who have done cob building before and have some experience .(very important)
    the project is overlooked by our friend Nikiforos a natural building architect with quite some experience, he will be there once a week to help with anything.
    so if you like to come and live for at least 3 weeks ( Minimum ) or as long as you like in a natural environment please let us know..
    Tertsa is a small village with a wonderful micro climate and directly on the beach ..we have km of beaches and 3 Tavernas and a mini market ..it is quite and nice like Crete many years ago..we also have some more touristic places around ..
    the place you would stay is a little up hill around 20 minutes walk to the beach and you would stay in a tent with wooden floor and mattress inside (basic but good)... there is a community space . kitchen , shower and compost toilet already build...and we have a good solar system
