Day 11 Our last full day: permaculture, Fermentation, the journey back

      Today started off with another great morning at Rancho Mastatal. We all got up around 7A.M for a small fruit snack before starting the day with our first lesson on permaculture. Our teacher for this class was named Sam, a core member of the faculty at Rancho Mastatal living there for over a decade. His vast background in agricultural studies made for a very compelling and unique presentation on permaculture and its history over the last 10,000 years beginning with the agricultural revolution.

Day 10: Natural Building & Soap Making

     Throughout the day we had different activities that helped us to develop different skills for working and learning from the earth, and therefore we created objects that can be used for architecture and personal use like soap.  We started the day by waking up and going to a class where then we were introduced to new members of Rancho Mastatal, where they showed and asked us about the knowledge that we had when regarding natural elements for creating buildings. Once we had our small conversation, we proceeded to work with clay, sand, and straw among other elements that are found in the soil for creating adobe breaks. We mixed and used a shovel to retreat the materials needed. We were separated into two groups where we changed the activities throughout the day when regarding this class.      Once we finished with the class, we then moved to how to create a natural soap with our hands from natural and original materials found in the place.  The ...
