Hi, I’m Elke

For me it’s all about people: together we create villages, buildings, structures, art and make dreams into reality.
With 20+ years of natural building experience I feel that you can get reliable answers from me. If we have some face-time or real face-to-face experience, I’ll be listening carefully to your questions and give you honest answers. If I don’t know, I will tell you.
Theory is easy…doing it is where the courage is. I have successfully taught hundreds of people like you, who go on to become professional builders or build their own homes. Others have just had a fun adventure away from their day-job. It doesn’t matter where you live- I have experience working in different climate regions and different cultures. Working together allows people to thrive . Spaces built by people for people grow thriving communities
I speak English, German, some French and a little Kiswahili. Sketches and hand-signals do the rest.

Here’s a wordcloud of what matters to me…
