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. You can read all about that adventure in The Mud Series of books I wrote. You'll want to start with Dirt Witch.

I've come a long, long way since then though. The vicissitudes of life (and a certain restlessness of spirit) have taken me from Turkey to Spain to the UK, and now all around the world. You can follow my latest exploits on Substack. I'm passionate about people liberating themselves from a corrupt and damaging 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 natural building, living off-grid, other people's inpsiring stories, and my own adventures.

Looking to contact me?
There is masses of free information on this website. People have constructed whole houses from it. It's a gift and I'd love you to use it. However, for obvious reasons, I can't spend hours of my time explaining to each individual person how to go about their particular building project. If you want to 'pick my brain', or one-to-one advice, consider booking a consultation with me. It's not expensive and could save you a lot of tears, money and effort.
