Online Intensive Natural Building Course – Pre-Launch Offer
If you’ve been looking for a comprehensive online Natural Building course to guide you through designing and building a healthy, energy-efficient, ecological home, you’ve come to the right place.
For over 10 years, Geeli Mitti has been leading and teaching natural building through research, patents, immersive workshops and landmark projects. We have now brought that experience online, making our flagship Natural Building Course available to anyone, anywhere in the world, to learn at their own pace.
This online course covers everything you’ve always wanted to learn about Natural Building or had questions about – from climate-responsive design and habitat planning to natural materials, construction techniques, water systems, costing, roofing, flooring, utilities and basically becoming the wizard who can create homes that are healthy, sustainable, beautiful and in harmony with nature.
So whether you’re planning to build your own home, want to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle, or you are an architect, or a designer, or an engineer, or want to build a career in sustainable construction, this course will give you the knowledge and confidence to begin your journey. It is also an excellent resource for architecture/design students looking to add sustainable architecture and design to their repertoire.
By the end of this course, you’ll have quite an in-depth understanding about sustainable architectural design with natural, earthen materials. You will be able to identify which natural building technique would be most suited for your Project, based on climate, soil, budget, and other goals. You’ll also have a strong foundation to confidently pursue hands-on experience further on live on-ground natural building build projects – whether with Geeli Mitti or with other natural builders around the world.

Should You Choose the Online or the Offline in-campus Course?
If you can make it, our residential in-campus course offers the richest learning experience. Nothing compares to spending three weeks immersed in natural building, working with your hands, learning alongside others, and receiving direct guidance from our team.

That said, our online course is the perfect choice if:
* You can't take three weeks away from work to attend our intensive residential workshop.
* You don't want to wait for our next offline course, which is typically offered only once a year.
* You'd like to build a strong theoretical foundation before investing in hands-on training.
* You want to understand the full range of natural building techniques so you can decide which ones best suit your project, climate, budget and interests.
* You plan to gain practical hands-on experience later by volunteering on a natural building project or joining a build workshop - with Geeli Mitti or another builder - and want the knowledge and confidence to make the most of that experience.And remember, when you complete the online course, you automatically receive 30% waiver on the training fees of the residential in-campus Intensive Natural Building Course, for the next two batches scheduled, making it easy to continue your learning journey.
