Che Roga ExpoLife

Hi, everyone in the world out there. Here I am writing from Iguassu Falls to tell you that beginning in early August I will start work on the Che Roga ExpoLife Project. Che Roga in the Guarani language means "My House" and ExpoLife an Anglo-Latin mix that means Life Exhibit. That means my house is a showroom. Of what?

Of alternative possibilities, technologies, lifestyle, Earth Connection and Spirituality. The first thing is to build a wall around the urban lot (16 x 25 mt) located in area known as Jardim Ipe in Foz do Iguacu. The wall will be built with old tires thrown out after having been used and abused and screeched and so on. The photographs here are illustrative only. I got the tire wall picture from www.flickr.com and the Watsu picture from www.spamariabonita.com.br My own photos will be uploaded as the process goes.

Next comes two small Yurt-like structures to serve, one, as living quarters and, the other, as meditation, classroom for several activities and a social area. There will be a cob or sand-bag structure to mimick the ovenbird clay nest where there will be a small "floatarium". There will be some urgency in building the Watsu Pool that must be heated and kept at 35 degrees celsius. Besides Watsu I will personally take care of Reiki and Ayurvedic Massage sessions. The idea is that the ExpoLife Center shows technologies like solar, alternative solar cooking, solar cooking recipes (based on Essene teachings), wind and mainly, dry toilets, water treatment, rainwater catching, small artficial wetland, productive walls and so on.
