I have been to Karuna - the family & site are absolutely beautiful. They have had a long hard battle with the planners, to now finally be able to build a home to support their work supporting others & restoring their landscape. Please support them if you can!! Info is below:

The family from Karuna, permaculture LAND centre in Shropshire, UK are asking people from around the world to donate towards the build of a strawbale round house.

Watch a film about the campaign here: http://www.sponsume.com/project/roundhouse-karuna

Janta Wheelhouse from Karuna says, "This short film reveals the bigger picture and helps you understand why it is important to support this valuable, exemplary roots eco- project that is good for everyone. Additionally it contains sincere thanks to those who have backed the straw bale roundhouse campaign."

"Having a homebase will enable us to create more spirals of earth care, people care and fair share. Let’s all be the change we want to see in the world. Let us create food forests and gardens in our communities, on urban wastelands, in our back gardens, farms, large, medium or small. Take positive action that will create ripples and bring a ‘solution revolution’ as we mould and feel our way to the fruitfulness of the earth. At this point in history, the survival of the whole world depends upon our sharing what we have and working together."

The campaign ends in under a weeks time on the 28 Jan 2013.
