Greetings!
The building season is starting in BC and for those of you looking for
workshops here's my short list.
Registration is through hosts- so please look closely.
I'll be spending the summer primarily at O.U.R.ECOVILLAGE with our Natural
Building Skillbuilder.
There are still two spots available for that too.
You can have a look at www.ourecovillage.org
and of course at www.cobworks.com
Please forward this to any friends or list you feel suitable. Also note my
e-mail address and check your address book.
And apologies if you get this more than once- it means your on more than one
list in my addressbook:)
