‘A Century of Challenges: Peak Oil, the Financial Crisis, and how to prepare for what’s to come’
Have a listen to this talk. The speaker is Nicole Foss, an energy industry consultant, a financial analyst and a former editor of The Oil Drum Canada who now blogs under the name Stoneleigh at The Automatic Earth.
Her analysis of the collapse of global Ponzi finance and peak oil as a “perfect storm” of converging challenges that threaten to accelerate the changes we face and have dire consequences for unprepared individuals and communities.
She presented the talk to a Transition gathering in Devon – and shocked most people, with many trying to find a way to say she was wrong.

P11p8 Midsummer Sheltermaker 2010

I’ve listen to the talk with pleasure – and relief!  She tells it like it really is!  The whole house of cards is so precarious that the only reliable assets are those residing inside our selves.  Time to get back to sheltermaking!

Practical self-sufficiency skills for the modern age
Theory and hands-on learning
€150 (€120 conc.) incl. vegetarian lunch
ENQUIRIES
Growing food and making affordable shelter are the keys to living a sustainable life.
Establishing food security and freedom from mortgage debt can be easier than one might think.
This introductory workshop will focus on what people can do in the average backyard – or apartment balcony – with very little money to spend but a commitment to changing one’s life for one’s own sake and for the sake of the planet.
Theory and practice are presented side by side in a lively mix of talk, film, images and models in which Peter & Alanna share their considerable experience of growing food and making shelter on tight budgets and with an unfailing commitment to sustainable principles.
As well as dealing with the physical aspects of sustainable living, the workshop will also address the hidden aspects of change – particularly, understanding the nature of the resistances one normally encounteres and how to overcome these.
Participants will learn how to produce delicious food in small spaces using the principles of permaculture garden design, and, how to design and construct small affordable sustainable buildings following living architecture principles.  With an emphasis is on positive action, these essential skills will provide participants with a solid foundation on which to construct a sustainable future for themselves.

*Australian geomancer Alanna Moore is a specialist in surveying the subtle energies of place. She advises people on selecting safe and healthy locations to live, work and grow food. If homes are located on geopathic stress zones or across ‘fairy pathways’ there can be dire consequences she warns. Alanna, who has Irish heritage, is familiar with the ancient geomantic traditions of the Australian Aboriginals. She finds many parallels with the indigenous culture of Ireland where people’s deep connection with the land also makes them highly aware and respectful of the invisible forces present in the landscape.  Also a permaculture farmer and teacher, she spends summers here with her Irish husband Peter Cowman. In 2010 Alanna will be conducting just three workshops in Ireland – in Leitrim & Tipperary.
The EconoSpace Project
The sleeping giant awakes.  After its winter slumber, the EconoSpace has dried out completely and is now ready for plastering. Already the inherent warmth of the clay-straw can be felt inside the building.
Work is now underway to carry on where we left off last September.  RTE  have even expressed a wish to come back and do some more filming!

Imbolc Sheltermaker 2010

Posted February 3rd, 2010 by Peter Cowman and filed in Sheltermaker

Imbolc – Cross Quarter Day

Imbolc (Imbolg) has been celebrated since ancient times. It is a Cross Quarter Day, midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, it can fall between the 2nd & 7th of February. In 2010 it falls on the 3rd of February. The other Cross Quarter Days are Beltane (early May), Lughnasadh (early August) and Samhain (early November). Together with the Equinoxes and Solstices the Cross Quarter Days mark the eight significant solar points of the year. Sheltermaker is published to coincide with the Cross Quarter Days.

Now that I am back in the antipodes the Australian dreamtime is working its magic on me.
After a deft leap from Ireland via Singapore, Perth and Sydney, delivering workshops along the way, I have come to earth in central Victoria where it is spring.
Gradually I  am shedding layers, like an old snake or a chrysalis.
From this birthing a new me is emerging. Continue Reading »

EconoSpace Goes Nationwide

124 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

An RTE1 Nationwide crew spent a day on-site last weekend recording the in’s and out’s of the EconoSpaceMaking process.  The focus of the crew’s attention was the reality of creating mortgage-free shelter.
With a dozen students in attendance – from as far afield as Scotland – the film crew had plenty to absorb: from clay slip making to a weary student enjoying an open air firebath!

Sian Cowman demonstrates the intricacies of making clay slip


They also filmed students getting into the sheltermaking zone – making peter-posts, floor beams and clay-straw.  The more intrepid climbed ladders and gantries in pursuit of mystery.
The finished Nationwide programme will be broadcast later this year on RTE1.
Students and film crew alike were fed from the garden enjoying a range for organic greens.  The success Alanna has had with growing this summer is well described in the picture below.

Hot on the heels of the Nationwide bash the Sligo-Leitrim Adult Arts Education Programme announced its commitment to grant aid the preparation of the EconoSpaceMaking Course.  Work on this is well advanced.
This DVD based Course will comprise text, drawings and video allowing anyone, anywhere to create their own EconoSpace.  This dynamic material goes right to the heart of the sheltermaking mysteries.
If you are serious about sustainability you need to follow this course!
126 09 Equinox Sheltermaker
A dedicated online EconoSpaceMaking Forum is also being set up as part of the Course.  This will allow students to share information and skills as well as discussing their sheltermaking insights.
The Course will be available in late November.

Architecture LIVE
The silver wings of St. Arthur fly me across Europe to the threshold of new adventures.
Lost in the husned confines of Frankfurt International Airport, I contemplate the future.
The International Herald Tribune documents the state of the world.  Obama adressing the UN.  Dire predictions regarding sea level rise for low-lying Vietnam.  Deforestation in the Congo basin. Sober editorials.  Ads for expensive timepieces.  Share price lists.  Travel news.
We feast on bread and cheese chased with a crisp courgette plucked from the garden this morning.  This is our connection to the past, to the silent EconoSpace shielded from the worst the winter weather might bring to the Irish northwest.

106 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

My focus is now turning to central Victoria where the ‘baby’ EconSpace awaits my return.  I plan to fill this with clay straw and love.  As the gravity of the Irish EconoSpace slackens its antopidean mate strengthens is hold.
My impending return to Australia vigourously stimulates my interest.  I look forward to reconnection with the look and feel of the earth, with the unabashed good humour of the people, with the dreaming lore of the natives.  I want to surrender to this allure, to allow it carry me to a place from where I might return renewed to my own dreaming land.

Invisible Architecture Tour
Meanwhile, alongside the EconoSpace work, the Invisible Architecture dream is coming to life.
This exploration of the invisible aspects of buildings kicks off in Singapore before heading for Perth, Sydney and finally, central Victoria.
This journey will form the basis of a book on the same theme.  You can follow this unfolding here, at livingarchitecturecentre.com

Poster Invisible Architecture Small2 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

This energising mix of theory, fact and real life drama is an invitation to not only imagine your dream house but to experience it in all of its many dimensions.
This journey will encourage you to rediscover the architect of your childhood dreams and nurture this faculty back into life.
You will also learn how your dreams and reality might together be used to shape a sustainable future for people and planet.

In the Irish year autumn begins on August 1st.  This is the harvest month, the time for gathering-in, for thanksgiving, for celebration.
This is also the time when we must acknowledge the imminent ascendancy of the dark side of the year, must relinquish our attachment to the long days which nourish our creativity.

The Reign of Silence
It’s the equinox, or just past it.
Northern and southern hemispheres are united in time and space.
Such unity typifies government policies worldwide.
Borrow and spend regardless of the consequences.
Any therapist worth their fee would press a client on such a life path to seriously consider the consequences.
But no, silence reigns.

P11p11 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

There has never been a better time to step out of the mainstream, to take to the lifeboat, to bow out of the fray.
This requires wisdom more than it requires courage.
A return to basics – the provision of food and shelter free of the burden of debt.

Dream1 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

Here at the Living Architecture Centre, 20 years on from the first ‘Be Your Own Architect’ Course, it is a welcome time.
The laborious work associated with the development of that apparantly simple idea has taken me on a most interesting journey over the years.
I have always advocated the creation of debt-free sheltermaking and watched in fascination the number of people who shied away from that idea mainly because of the pride issues involved.
Yes, pride, one of the Seven Deadlies, no less!
Well now attachment to pride will have to be loosed as the cascade of change sweeps all before it.
The result?
A new freedom of thought and action.
A breakthrough to a place where sanity, creativity and laughter allow us to reconnect with life as it really is.

EconoKitch5 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

Bringing Your Self to Life
Science tells us that space and time are intimately connected and that one never exists without the other.
Architecture is very much concerned with space and therefore with time.

P2p33 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

The 3 dimensions of space – lengthy, breath and height – plus the 4th dimension of time constitute all the dimensions of life as we know it.
When we create architecture we directly engage with these 4 dimensions of space-time.  This presents us with a unique opportunity to encounter life as it really is.

9a 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

All living things exist in harmony with the 4 dimensions of space-time.  This means that they have a physical part which is visible and a invisibly part that contains their aliveness.  We normally refer to these two parts as the outside and the inside.
Because architecture also contains two essential parts – an outside and in inside – it offers a unique opportunity to creatively engage with all of the 4 dimensions of life.
So, giving yourself time to literally feel a house design through is critical to success.  Expect to be puzzled.  Anticipate difficult questions, blockags and snags.  In fact you might even invite these because they pinpoint the places where one has gotten stuck and needs to initiate change.

Peter Head SpaceTrain Trip  09 Equinox Sheltermaker

Change is what characterises the move from a conventional to a more sustainable way of life.  Discovering the places where we are resistant to change is therefore very important.
There are no easy answers to the questions that are likely to arise as you move through the design process but you can be assured that if your are honest with yourself the answers will emerge.  It is largely a matter of delving deep enough inside yourself to find them.
This stimulation of our inner selves goes to heart of the concept of the Dream Home – a place where we can truly be our selves.  This allows us to think of architecture as a nutrient for our own self-development – the creation of a place into which we can literally plant our selves so that we might grow into selfhood.

sheltermaker 09 Equinox Sheltermaker

A wealth of interesting stuff emerges when one asks oneself the apparantly simple question ‘what is it that I want my personal space for?’
The process of self-enquiry which this prompts will raise yet more questions.  Answering these is what the design process is all about – proceeding from an abstract conception of what it is you want to the manifestation of this in physical reality.
The abstract conception of the role of your space in your life emerges from within you.  It is this intention which will enliven the inner space of the building.  The role of the building fabric  – the walls, floor and roof – is to enclose this inner space and to seperate it from the outside world.
Because clear intention is what brings a building to life it is essential that intention control the design process.  This requires that a harmony be achieved between the inner and outer aspects of the design.  This balancing of abstract and physical, visible and invisible, is characteristic of life itself.
To achieve the necessary harmony between the inner and outer aspects of the design your mind has to be encouraged to share power with your intuition.  This will allow you to tune in to the harmony of your life and to infuse your design with that life.  Bringing your design to life is, in many ways, about bringing yourself to life.
