Create a tranquil space in nature in Chania, Crete, Greece

  Description

  We’re Anastasia (Greek) and Richard (Dutch) and in January 2023 we moved from Amsterdam to Crete, Greece. Living in the city was not fulfilling for us any longer and we felt the calling to move to nature and lead a more sustainable life. We bought some land on Crete, Greece and we are now in the process of building our light straw clay house. We aspire to create a tranquil space in nature, and provide a viable example of modern, simple, natural living.

  Aide

  We are looking for two volunteers to help us build our dream house on Crete. It's a light straw clay building with wooden frame. We could use some help with mixing the straw and clay as well as using the mixture to fill the walls. No previous knowledge, experience, or dexterity is required. The process is simple and fun (hopefully!). If you're into natural building, it's a great way to gain some more knowledge and skills.
