Earthbag construction uses polypropylene (PP) bags filled with locally available soil to create strong, durable, and a climate-responsive earthen structure. At Geeli Mitti, we build exclusively with only &lt;strong&gt;recycled polypropylene (PP) bags&lt;\/strong&gt; rather than continuous tubing or fresh PP bags, as we believe this approach is more sustainable, practical, and better suited to the contexts in which we work.    This workshop is centered around the construction of a beautifully envisioned &lt;strong&gt;three-dome earthbag suite&lt;\/strong&gt; comprising a&lt;strong&gt; living area dome with a mezzanine loft of approx. 4 m diameter&lt;\/strong&gt;, an attached &lt;strong&gt;2.5 m diameter kitchenette dome&lt;\/strong&gt;, and a &lt;strong&gt;3 m diameter bathroom dome&lt;\/strong&gt; connected via an earthbag vestibule. During the workshop, participants will build the &lt;strong&gt;living and kitchenette domes&lt;\/strong&gt;, working on a real project from foundation all the way through to ending with applying the base plasters on the structure.    Please note that this is &lt;strong&gt;not our flagship annual natural building workshop &lt;\/strong&gt;where all the natural building techniques are taught in depth.    The focus of a Build Workshop is entirely on the specific building technique being taught, in this case the &lt;strong&gt;earthbag building technique&lt;\/strong&gt;, allowing us to explore and teach it practically in depth. The workshop combines classroom sessions, live demonstrations, and extensive hands-on construction. Our goal is simple - to complete the two domes during the 12-day workshop.    Because this is an active construction site rather than a demonstration build, participants should come prepared for a physically demanding experience. You should be reasonably fit and able to undertake &lt;strong&gt;5\u20136 hours of physical work each day&lt;\/strong&gt;. The minimum age for participants is &lt;strong&gt;15 years&lt;\/strong&gt;.    We are committed to completing the two domes within the workshop period. If required, this may involve extending the working day or even pulling an occasional all-nighter to reach key construction milestones.    A basic understanding of natural building is recommended before attending. While prior hands-on experience isn&#039;t essential, participants will benefit from having a foundational knowledge of natural building principles so they can get the most out of this intensive, technique-specific workshop.    The workshop will be led by &lt;strong&gt;Shagun Singh&lt;\/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Raghu Raahi&lt;\/strong&gt;, who together bring years of experience in Natural Building.    &nbsp;    &nbsp;    &lt;\/div&gt;  [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&quot;Details&quot; tab_id=&quot;1641731431910-8d67cea5-678a&quot;][vc_column_text el_class=&quot;event-text&quot;]&lt;strong&gt;What you will learn:&lt;\/strong&gt;    - Introduction to earthbag and earthbag dome construction  - Dome geometry and design principles  - Structural principles of earthbag buildings  - Advantages and limitations of the earthbag technique, with a focus on domes  - Foundation and plinth design, excavation, and construction  - Soil selection and preparation for bag filling  - Correct techniques for filling, laying, and tamping earthbags  - Raising walls while maintaining the dome curvature  - Door and window formwork, installation, and integration  - Window arches, pillow bags and lintels  - Ventilation design and installation  - Dome closure and keystone installation  - Base plaster preparation and application    By the end of the workshop, you&#039;ll have a thorough understanding of the earthbag technique, practical experience on a real build, and the confidence to begin planning your own earthbag projects.    &lt;strong&gt;A TYPICAL DAY:&lt;\/strong&gt;    7:30 am: Morning Tea    8:30-9:30 am: Breakfast    9:30am-1:00pm: Sessions, with one break    1:00- 3:00 pm: Lunch break    3:00pm-6:00pm: Sessions with a tea break    7:00 pm: Dinner    8:00pm: Documentary screening \/ movies \/ discussions \/ slide shows (optional)    &nbsp;    &lt;strong&gt;About your teachers\/facilitators:&lt;\/strong&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;Raghu Raahi&lt;\/strong&gt;    &lt;img class=&quot; wp-image-16784 alignleft&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/geelimitti.in\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Teacher-Raghu-Raahi-300x279.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;227&quot; height=&quot;211&quot; \/&gt;Raghu Raahi is a natural builder, workshop facilitator, and lifelong traveller who believes that the best way to learn is by working with your hands.    After completing a &lt;strong&gt;3,800 km barefoot pilgrimage around the Narmada River&lt;\/strong&gt;, his connection with the earth and the idea of shelter took on a new meaning. This journey eventually led him to natural building and, in particular, the earthbag dome technique.    Raghu joined Geeli Mitti as an intern in 2021, trained in earthbag construction in 2022, and has since gained a lot of experience with this technique (Instagram - @domesbyraghu). Over the past few years, he has helped build &lt;strong&gt;13 earthbag structures across nine projects&lt;\/strong&gt;, gaining extensive practical experience in every stage of earthbag construction.    Originally from &lt;strong&gt;Churu, Rajasthan&lt;\/strong&gt;, Raghu understands first-hand how well earthbag domes perform in hot, arid climates. Their high thermal mass, ability to utilise locally available sandy soils, and minimal reliance on timber make them an elegant and practical solution for desert regions. This deep appreciation for the technique is reflected in his passion for earthbag domes, and he focuses on imparting practical skills, structural understanding, craftsmanship, and learning through doing.    During the workshop, Raghu will lead participants on site, demonstrating construction techniques, sharing practical insights from real-world projects, and helping transform theory into confident hands-on practice.    &nbsp;    &lt;strong&gt;Shagun Singh&lt;\/strong&gt;    &lt;img class=&quot; wp-image-8157 alignleft&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/geelimitti.in\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/primary-teacher-e1697446933551-289x300.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;234&quot; height=&quot;243&quot; \/&gt;Shagun Singh is the founder of &lt;strong&gt;Geeli Mitti&lt;\/strong&gt;, one of India&#039;s leading centres for sustainable living, through natural building education and permaculture.

Permaculture borrows from indigenous wisdom across the world as well as modern developments and concepts.    Permaculture in its core sense, is a design science for creating productive ecosystems. It follows the principles of nature and teaches one to live abundantly in harmony with all the diversity around. One can practice permaculture from a space as small as a balcony, a farm house, all the way up to the whole planet.    If you\u2019ve been waiting for a workshop to learn the ins and outs of systematically designing a farm space and living a truly sustainable lifestyle, then this is it! Geeli Mitti is back with our annual &lt;strong&gt;International Permaculture Design Certification course, this year with Holi celebrations included!&lt;\/strong&gt;    The Geeli Mitti CoE (Centre of Excellence) at Nainital is much beyond a permaculture farm as the term is typically understood. We are located within the ecologically diverse Naina Devi Bird Conservation Zone and surrounded by gurgling streams and Himalayan oak forest. The campus is set-up to offer \u2013    - high quality international PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate) courses and demonstrate permaculture practices and principles.    - extensive demonstrable natural building techniques and workshops.    - community volunteering services and projects for livelihood generation.    No prior experience or training of any sort is required. Suitable for all fitness levels and age.

Natural Building includes a variety of building techniques that focus on creating sustainable buildings which minimize their negative ecological impact. Natural Buildings often rely on non-industrial, minimally processed, locally available, and renewable materials and can also utilize recycled or salvaged materials.    Some questions that will no longer remain questions after this workshop include :  \u2013 What are natural buildings, different popular techniques of natural building?  \u2013 Which one would be right for me?  \u2013 Advantages and limitations of each technique like Cob, Earthbag, Stone, Bamboo, Wattle and Daub, Rammed Earth, Strawbale\u2026  \u2013 What if I live in a high rainfall area or snow or the desert?  \u2013 How much does it cost? What if my budget is very little?  \u2013 Do I need to be an architect or hire one? Will Geeli Mitti build it for me?  \u2013 Can I use the soil at my place to build?  \u2013 How do I test soil at my land and use it?  \u2013 Where should I build on my land?

Geeli mitti is just not a place, it is an experience, a magical feeling. It is very scenic and serene. Shagun and her team are extremely compassionate and kindest humans. They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. They create the perfect atmosphere for everyone to thrive, irrespective of your religious, political beliefs, lifestyles or eating habits. I am grateful to have attended a 19 day workshop and having spent 25 odd days at Geeli Mitti. One of the best times of my life. It was an enlightening experience. Of course, I learnt oodles of new things but it was more about &quot;Unlearning&quot; my past conditioning as an architect and rediscovering my building instincts as a human. Apart from learning the nuances of building with mud, I was awestruck by the way of teaching. It was crisp, entertaining and fun. Geeli Mitti is like a fountain of knowledge, the more you want to learn, the more they will put effort to satiate your thirst and answer your queries. I came back with loads of beautiful memories, new friendships and a lot of confidence to embark on my journey. Never think twice about attending a workshop. Just go, you won&#039;t be disappointed.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"qodef-e-author\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-name\">\n\t\tRaghav Kumar\t<\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-job\">\n\t\t10 months ago\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"qodef-e swiper-slide\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-e-text\">\n\t\tThe place is gorgeous and stunning!

All day long you can hear the calming rushing of the stream right next to the land. Plenty of beautiful Birds, butterflies, and other wildlife (e.g. civet cat) were visiting. I was volunteering for about 7 weeks during the monsoon. We were mainly busy with finishing touches of the amazing natural buildings on-site like plastering, rubbing and oiling walls, and cleaning wooden parts. We also mixed mud, chopped grass, cleaned up things, prepared vegetable beds, dug, foraged wooden logs from the jungle for firewood, researched plant IDs &amp;  hosted one of their amazing workshops.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"qodef-e-author\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-name\">\n\t\tNina Schm\t<\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-job\">\n\t\t2 years ago\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"qodef-e swiper-slide\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-e-text\">\n\t\tThe stars aligned in the most magnificent way to send your soul as a natural building saviour into the world. Never have we seen such dedication and love for one&#039;s work. Your compassion for the universe is admirable. Strong, independent, level headed, crazy, charming, funny, calm..the list goes on. We must have done something right to come for the workshop and live here in the forest during the lockdown. May you make a difference in billions of lives &amp; achieve each of your dreams. Wishing you limitless strength and patience to endure what you must to become what you aspire. Geeli mitti will always always hold a special place since we are rishtedaar now that our dog (basanti) is married to Kunwar Singh, CEO of Geeli Mitti.

Yes, I&#039;m missing Geeli Mitti. Although I was there for less than ten days, it was an experience that will stay with me forever. To find peace in the simple pleasures of life, to find joy in working with one&#039;s hands (and feet), to know that one is learning something that can make a difference, to make new friends, to share stories, to laugh and to just be happy - that&#039;s what my time at Geeli Mitti gave me. What Shagun, the force of nature behind Geeli Mitti, is doing is pretty incredible; in a world that has far too much wrong with it, it is heartening to see someone doing something that is so right. And doing it in a way that is accessible, that invites others to share her knowledge and passion, and perhaps most importantly, doing it without turning into a stuffy crusader who loses a sense of fun and humour. This was my first experience at Geeli Mitti, but it won&#039;t be my last \ud83d\ude42\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"qodef-e-author\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-name\">\n\t\tShreya Dhawan\t<\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-job\">\n\t\t4 years ago\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"qodef-e swiper-slide\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-e-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-e-text\">\n\t\tGeeli Mitti taught me about sustainability, self-sufficiency and self\/ bio-construction and I found Shagun, a strong, knowledgeable woman, who is creating beautiful possibilities in her society. I also found a beautiful village in the Himalayas, amazing local workers and wonderful volunteers. It was one great month and a half &amp; for sure one of the deepest  experiences I ever had. Geeli Mitti brought me my life partner, my little doggy, Momo. I still remember that old man with his grandson bringing Momo to me after a 5 hour walk in the mountains from where his home was. I can&#039;t forget that strong but beautiful smell of cows &amp; the mountain air on Momo. Now, back in Spain, I\u2019m trying to make my space on a piece of land in the forest together with Lolo, my friend and Momo to bring back some essence of Gelli Mitti. It&#039;s as hard as thrilling. I have some fears about starting from zero but on the other hand I am so excited and full of hope.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"qodef-e-author\">\n\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-name\">\n\t\tMariam de Lastres\t<\/span>\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-author-job\">\n\t\t3 years ago\t<\/span>\n\t<\/h5>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"swiper-button-next swiper-button-outside swiper-button-next-4339\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"swiper-button-prev swiper-button-outside swiper-button-prev-4339\"><\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1729063532163{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;
