Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you share our passion for eco-friendly living, hands-on craftsmanship, and good food, we'd love to have you join us! Here's what you can expect:
Get Your Hands Dirty: Learn the art of rammed earth construction alongside us, and see firsthand how traditional building techniques can create homes that are as beautiful as they are sustainable.
Help
We're all about living in harmony with nature and doing things the old-fashioned way. For us, building our home isn't just a project – it's a labor of love, a testament to our commitment to sustainability, and a celebration of the beauty of the land we call home.
Building tasks: Whether you're a seasoned construction pro or a total newbie, we'd love your help with mixing materials, compacting walls, shaping forms, and other tasks related to rammed earth construction.
Cooking: In between building sessions, we'll need some helping hands in the kitchen to prepare meals using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
At least one day in a week we're going to beaches of Kaş to swim and rest.
