I’m travelling and teaching a lot this summer, so I’ll be shifting my focus a bit in posts and podcasts. This week, in my Podcast, The Movement We Need, I interview Brandy Gallagher, who founded O.U.R. Ecovillage, about the challenges and rewards of an intentional community and learning center. I thought you might also like some pictures, as they’ve done some truly spectacular natural building. Here’s Brandy inside Freya’s House, a cob and strawbale home with natural plasters and beautiful interior finishes:

Here’s the Zero-Mile Eatery, built with timber frame infilled with wood-chip slip:
Mixing cob—clay, sand and straw:
And making our part of a new wall:
The Dragon oven:
