EARTHWORX is very excited to be kicking off the new year working in conjunction with Wild Coast Kitchen and country Lodge just outside of Port St John's . We will gradually be building on a model sustainable village on the farm overlooking the mighty Umzimvubu river. The idea is to involve as many people as we can in the workshops to promote permaculture and sustainablity.
We are hosting our first 5day workshop for the new year starting on the 7th of January. Space is limited. Book early or contact us for schedules for further workshops throughout the year.

A 5 day workshop will include
-an introduction to permaculture and design
-natural building techniques including wattle and daub, adobe and cob.
-community building and upliftment
-daily optional yoga and meditation

For more information and bookings contact Marinda directly.

During the workshop students have an option of staying here at the lodge or camping in our beautiful garden on the farm. All meals will be provided. Self-catering optional.

The theme for the Guest House is taken from the unique living style and interiors of Provence in the South of France. These are medieval structures that endured the ages where weather and erosion have left its marks on these grand buildings. Somewhere between country living and a quiet little town one will find these almost fortress like buildings. They impress but at the same time discharge romantic images of an era gone past.

It features a combination of simple, almost humble dwellings, rectangular in shape but incorporating arches, balconies and shutter windows to give it its definitive style. Rounded of with lavender fields, tall thin and dark green conifers, olive and other trees cut on topary style, an old style village fountain and lavish Mediterranean vegetation makes this a style as unique as one can get.
