Description
Hello we are a happy family originally from colombia living in israel 15 years ago,
we live in the golan heights in a moshav (village) surrounded by beautiful nature, canyons, sleeping volcanoes, rivers , animals..
there are many spots where you can see endless sunsets
live close to two impressive waterfalls, the lake of galilee and very important historical places.
Like susita, nimrod, rugm al hiri, um al kanatir .. etc
We are building our own house out of rammed earth
We would like to be able to share this ancient knowledge of building with earth with the world to make more conscious of the planet where is our home
we would love to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts with people from various parts of the planet.
So if you want to learn how to build a wall of earth and learn about the local history and culture and smiles with other people..
we hope to see you here!

Acquire calm and joy of life touching and feeling the earth by your feet and hands
And how we are all connected with the earth
Acquiring conscience from the earth like living and feeling the present as it is
“From dust we came to dust we shall return”
Learning how to build in a way friendly of the planet and animals and not like building with cement and other non naturals elements which leave much negative impact in the planet

After participating in a construction like this, you will realize how simple it is and then you can build it yourself.
