Visits Khula Dhamma Eco Community farm
As community members of Khula Dhamma, and members of the Green Living EL, we, Tim and Anne Wigley, were very happy to host the group’s May meeting here on the eco community farm.
Khula Dhamma is an eco community with the aim to show that living more lightly on the planet is possible. From humble beginnings it has grown over the last eight years to a core group of ten members. We are now focused more ecologically, as well as becoming a place running retreats and workshops.

ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLING OPTIONS
“LIVING is LEARNING is LOVING” was run in April this year. It was Khula Dhamma’s first workshop open to a paying public!
Parents and other interested members at Khula Dhamma were searching for responsible ways to school our children in an environment which is loving and child-centred. We had reached a point where making more firm decisions around our children’s education was becoming a priority. We have eight children under the age of 8 here at the moment.
A LAND BLESSING for KHULA DHAMMA
Submitted by anne on Tue, 2010-07-27 22:49.Our Permaculture Design course, having succeeded in allowing us to formally map out and plan the activities we intend to facilitate here at Khula Dhamma, got us thinking that this might now be the time to have a LAND BLESSING.
PERMACULTURE DESIGN WORKSHOP
Submitted by anne on Mon, 2010-07-26 17:09.It took months of planning and eventually in January 2010 South Africa’s leading Permaculture Design expert, Kent Cooper (Tahir), arrived here to start a 10 day intensive with the members of Khula Dhamma. Khula Dhamma is a large farm of 300 Hectares and Kent’s brief was extensive: to design housing, school, working and farming space. This meant constructing huge maps of the farm where we could start pinpointing large scale farming areas; grazing areas; woodlots; indigenous forests and grasslands to protect; housing for +30 prospective members and internal farm roads to lay out.
