Feeling Grief in the best of times

On the path of enlightenment we are constantly changing and becoming more aware of our feelings in the moment. Every moment is fleeting, and we and everything around us is always a new version. It's okay to feel sadness for what has been lost, but understand that with loss comes freedom, and every gift includes loss.

"Stumping and Dancing."😂 I'm using that line with my kids when we do this. Great job guys.
Looks like painstaking labor, need a lot of helping hands to progress.
Well, how easy is it to build any modern house?
More valuable than money.
Congratulations!
BRAVO! Hannelore (your former parcel neighbor in Arizona)
Straw heavy cob… let’s go tensile strength!
Wren, I love you. Thank
It looks like you are building beautiful structures in a lovely way. But I wonder how well this would stand up to an earthquake. It looks to me like the plaster would fall off of the wall. It looks like it needs more of a wattle lattice to hold it up
Always be careful with rattlesnakes, they are common in those places. I remember once I almost ran over one while I was mountain biking in some of those SJDS communities lol
Nice video! Those guys are really good vloggers !
Yes, they make a good team.
I tried that mix for my building. It's anything but fast, takes forever to mix small amounts.
Awesome job! Looks amazingly serene and sustainable.
Thanks BegaJo!
Hello, can someone recomend a authentic permaculture designer that can come to Diriamba to do a site survey and design a plan ?
Great to see your work
Nice virtual walking tour. This video gives me a precious experience as if I were traveling there! Appreciate your good work!
Any workshops coming up in 2023 or 2024? We just finished a natural building workshop at rancho mastatal in Costa Rica and it was awesome. I'm interested in building potentially in Nicaragua! Would love to connect with some like minded and like hearted souls 🕉️🌅🌋🙏
We have a week of workshops in April , 10 - 15. More info at puremindretreats.org
Trabalho maravilhoso
Way to go Buddy 👊🏻

Мы также козлятник строили,только ставили опалубку из двух досок и переставляли их. Работа быстрее и качественной идёт.
This is the same thing Africans were doing (in peace) until the Europeans invaded their lands and called them barbaric and needed civilization 😂🤣😂
Africans have experienced a lot of violence, warring tribes long before Europeans arrived. Most peoples are happy to have benefits of advancing technology, A/C, improved medical care, etc.
How did you set those 4x4 posts in the cement stem wall? Looks like some kind of metal plate, perhaps connected to rebar set in the cement? A bit hard to tell from the video. Thanks!
Yeah the metal plates were set in the concrete
Yes! At last someone else proving the fact that hay is as good as agricultural straw for building with in LCS. It's not straw you're using BTW.
Very true! I never worry about it, as long as its dry. Thats a great cob playlist you have there BTW, thanks for the comment.
I missed that. So hay works just as well as straw for the integrity of the structure?
We are moving to Matagalpa in March and I would love to build a cob house ! I’m 60 and move slowly but I think I could get it done….just not sure I am 100% clear on everything, like how do you know if there is enough clay in the soil, or are you buying clay ? Thx !
You should be able to find good clay around Matagalpa. There are several methods of testing clay content in your soil. I'll try to find a good video for you.

@@puremindaplacetosit7421 Thank you, that would be great. I wonder if their might be a local person there that has built with cob before. We won’t be ready for quite a while so nothing urgent but I think it would be very exciting.
Thanks for sharing. - loved this
I don't have time for this
So go away and use concrete!
Very nice!
Where can i find this construction? Is it still ready?
Centro Educativo Suelo Sano in Escamequita Nicaragua. We will hold more workshops there in February.
Europeans did not invite cob. Look up ancient African cob. Samba ppl.
In his defense, he didn't say they invented the practice itself - he was talking about the word cob.
I mean, the audacity and arrogance! Very European indeed!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Would be nice to see foundation and end result.
A blue shirt?
Yes
That's incredible progress! We're so excited about everything you do in the area! Keep up the great work!
Nice song
Makes you think about what you're doing with your life.
Me parece extraño que muy poca gente haya visto este vídeo. Pero bueno hay gente que no sabe demás cosas buenas que hay.
Gracias Ignacio, compartelo pues!
Compost is usefull for farming,but wood takes a long time to decompose.
