Natural Villages.divx

Interdependent nature based communities have existed on every continent since the dawn of humans. Earth based homes are known for their beauty, comfort, longevity and organic nature. Using the earth for shelter and food has always and will always be the staple of human existence.

Natural Villages promotes technologies that focus on natural, toxin free, sustainable food and lifestyle development processes that support the quality, comfort, stability and vibrancy of a healthy community. Reservation based communities within our Native Nations such as in Pine Ridge, South Dakota are today in the best position to benefit from this process due to zoning laws regarding earth buildings. Zoning laws for other areas will evolve with broad education and understanding about the realities of structural stability and safety.

Since minimal use of naturally occurring elements can be designed into earth and straw bale homes, costs are kept at a minimum. This means that food production and village economy goals are easier to achieve.

Since much of our global landscape needs restoration we implement microbial and rhizome based intelligence and work to restore native plants and animals to their habitats; which in turn quickly restores natural ecosystems. We support natural result restoration of the precious earth we stand upon.

Natural Villages works to generate enough community support through education and connection so that we can have enough funds to offer services and support to our local and global friends who could benefit from earth homes and sustainable gardening practices. With the positive use of land and organic living we can rebuild sustainable communities and restore our environment.
