Atulya's In-Person Workshops for 2025
"Atulya’s courses were an absolute game changer! I have taken a number of natural building courses before and honestly thought I wasn’t a good plasterer and didn’t enjoy it. Atulya said exactly what I needed to get the technique and completely changed that for me. She is an incredibly empowering teacher and I love how her course eroded any hesitation I had about “not being ready enough” to dig in the backyard and make a good plaster. She is full of magic and this truly was one of the highlights of my year." Leo, particpant in Bulgaria.
