Hello! I'm Atulya.

Back in 2011 I found myself out of funds, and ended up camping in a Turkish field. It was the best thing that happened to me. I learned just how easy it is to be happy when you're close to the Earth. Eventually, I built my own mud home, installed solar power, and pursued my dream of writing.

I'm passionate about people liberating themselves from the system, building their own natural homes, and reconnecting with nature. It's not for everyone of course, but if it speaks to you may this website inspire you to begin your own journey.

On The Mud Home website, you can find a wealth of information on EARTHBAG BUILDING, LIVING OFF GRID, or if it's inspiration you're after, read about my first mud building journey in the MUD MOUNTAIN BLOG.
I give away shovel loads of free information to Mud subscribers, so if you haven't got yourself on the list yet, you might want to.
About me:
I'm author of  Mud Ball, the popular true story of how I clawed my way out of the system, Mud Mountain and Dirt Witch.
I'm an introvert whose loves include dogs and chickens, trees, building with mud, and writing. A mug of decent ground coffee doesn't go amiss either. I have little patience for cooking, concrete, and impromptu guests.
