Guest Coach Workshop with early bird accommodation at RisingSoul, starting from €227 for a 4-day package.
Across three immersive days, this clay plaster masterclass invites you to deepen your understanding of natural finishes through direct, hands-on practice. You’ll learn how to test and apply clay renders on different surfaces, while also exploring more advanced techniques such as burnishing, sculpting, and carving. The workshop also includes making your own clay paints from local, foraged clays.
This is a practical, experiential course, so expect to get thoroughly involved. Detailed information on what to bring will be shared with participants after enrolment.

What makes this experience special
Clay plastering is a rare skill, and this course offers the chance to work with the soil from your own land or yard to create natural finishes with real character. It is a unique opportunity to combine yoga and natural building within a nature-immersed setting, supported by pranic food and yogic practices throughout the day.
What you will learn
Experience highlights
Life here is relaxed, yet held within a steady daily rhythm of practices and meals that support grounding and ease. At the same time, there is plenty of freedom to follow your own pace. The only essentials are Karma Yoga for 20 minutes twice a day, supporting shared community life, and the weekly Sharing Circle, which helps nurture connection and unity. Everything else is optional.
There is also space to rest, reflect, and breathe. You may choose to walk in the forest, settle into a hammock, write in the chai house, or spend quiet time by the river. Nature offers the perfect setting for integration and renewal.
Please note: instruction often happens on site while working with your hands, so this schedule is a flexible guide rather than a fixed timetable.

Your teacher
Atulya has spent 15 years building with natural materials and living off-grid. She is the founder and author of The Mud Home natural building website, and her work has been featured in publications such as Mother Earth News and Owner Builder Magazine, as well as podcasts including All that We Are and Regenerative Skills. Her journey into natural building began in Turkey in 2011, when necessity led her to teach herself how to build with mud. What started as practical survival soon became a creative passion, and within a year she had built her own house. She has continued to build and write about natural materials ever since.
RisingSoul is a women-led conscious community rooted in yoga, nature, and sustainability. Surrounded by forests, creeks, and mountain views, it offers a peaceful setting for reflection, learning, and meaningful connection.
