| These workshops offer a unique learning experience, an empowering mix of theory, practise, observation and discussion with students having the opportunity to work on actual buildings. The workshops will focus on the design of small, low-impact, low-cost buildings which in many cases can be constructed free of planning permission.
Even if you never intend to build anything understanding the role which shelter plays in our lives will give you a vital insight into the true dynamics of sustainability. For those seeking a viable way of dis-engaging from the madness of the consumer life attending one of these workshops will provide you with the practical tools with which to plan your escape. Even those already involved in the natural building sector will have much to gain and much to contribute. If you are interested in self-development or are fascinated by the inner workings of life you will really enjoy this experience. The positive buzz at these workshops is palpable – because they explain what sustainability actually is! No previous experience of building required! The programme will include: ‘Good fun, good company and good learning! |

 All Island Gathering |
| Gurteen, Co. Tipperary |
| Visioning Eco Shelter |
| This is a skills sharing event that offers people a means of articulating a response to the question ‘Where do we go from here?The proposed event will allow people to articulate their vision of a low-impact, low-cost eco-shelter that they could create for themselves to live in a post peak oil and climate changed world. The stimulus of talking about such possibilities is harnessed as the driving force which allows participants to create a plan and a 3D model of their eco-shelter.
Stimulating and fun but, yes, it may not fit the proposed format for the Gathering. The photo below shows myself and students discussing the experience of visioning their eco-shelters. |

In this hands-on workshop Peter Cowman invites us to take the initiave, to awaken our sheltermaking instincts, to articulate our dreams and to embark on an incredible journey into the future. Using innovative Living Architecture techniques developed over 20 years and based on Peter’s extensive teaching and eco-sheltermaking experiences, this workshop is a must for anyone wishing to discover the secrets lurking inside Zone 0. |
