Cosmic Cabin and Hip Happenings!


Almost at the end of the spring Internship, Mama Roja has a budding garden, a gorgeous adobe cabin, new kittens, and many new stories and friends…

The little Earthen cabin tucked in the jungle:
The adobe walls of the cabin go up…

The roof goes on, framed with local hardwood and made of recycled Tetra-pak cartons…


And we plaster with earth, sand, pine needles, and cow dung…

And we make sculptures too… Mud art for all-- even Rambo!
And the cabin was dubbed the Cosmic Cottage... for aesthetic reasons, of course...
Other hip happenings at Mama Roja:
The community workshop brings lots of folks from all over to participate. Even a local t.v. crew came out to do a little piece on our mud-house making. We will try to get that uploaded soon.
A batik workshop at the farm—a mellow artistic Sunday.

Our outting to the Chacra Suiza—Thanks Paulina and family for a great time!


And let’s not forget the goings on in the garden and surroundings. Corn, squash, beans, tomatoes, mandioca, etc, all bursting from the earth—even in some surprising places!

And of course the new kittens… eyes open to the wonderful jungle world, and to “MAmanita” and her great mama skills.
