[Humanpowered] New Cob Apprenticeship Positions, Workshops, and Website with How-to Videos!

[dave olsen]

Cob.lasqueti.ca <http://cob.lasqueti.ca/index.html> has just been launched to 
make it easy for you to find all the latest Natural Building opportunities on 
Lasqueti Island, an off-the-grid eco- and social paradise.

If you've been wanting to build your own home or other sustainable and 
affordable building, check out cob.lasqueti.ca/workshops 
<http://cob.lasqueti.ca/workshops.html>. We'll give you a safe, empowering, 
hands-on learning experience in a setting that can't be matched.  And the 
workshops are already filling up!

Want to change your life and truly live more sustainably?  Then consider 
applying to one of our apprenticeships.  You'll not only become a Fast Cob 
expert, you'll learn how to make the most of your organic garden and forage for 
wild foods, too!  We cook with the sun and make our own electricity; you'll find 
that walking our talk is easy to do and learning to love every moment is all 
part of the package.  Visit cob.lasqueti.ca/apprenticeships 
<http://cob.lasqueti.ca/apprenticeships.html> for more information and inspiration.

And if you know a bit about cob and wonder how on earth I can call it fast and 
easy, watch our new videos explaining how we build. It's a radical departure 
from the methods brought here from Wales and Southern England and it can empower 
just about anyone to build their own in a way and with a timeframe that isn't 
exhausting. Enjoy it all at cob.lasqueti.ca!

Did you know that in Scandinavia...
--> there are laws protecting children from all forms of spanking and bullying, 
even from parents
--> these laws do not imprison or punish parents but instead raise awareness 
(http://www.empathicparenting.org)
--> the elderly are able to remain at home thanks to programs that provide free 
meals, free transportation, and free care/
