10:00 AM–12:00 PM IN SCIENCE 2.73 Lest the Lord that Built the House... Ms. Valerie Morris; Mrs. Judy Bekker With a conscious understanding of letting Life guide their way, two enterprising and brave women invited their friends to build with them an entity of beauty. This deeply ecologically sound old English tradition of house-building is happening in the mountains just 2 1/2 hours outside of Cape Town. The art of cobbing is about re-connecting with a long-forgotten and most basic skill-creating shelter and hand-sculpting a home. Built of clay, sand and straw, this will be more than a "a little mud hut tucked away in the mountains. It will be a place of aesthetic beauty and a fully functioning retreat; it is currently more than halfway complete. This slide presentation with discussion looks at the building process, and highlights the sustainat economy (under R5 000 for materials) of building in this way. Valerie Morris and Judy Bekker are beginning to explore the deeper implications of sustainable living and looking closely at changes that will surely be required in lifestyles, the nature of work, service to community and much more, as the world prepares for the year 2000. This form of building and all the learning the project has provided seemed a natural step for them. Valerie Morris, founder of Renaissance Business Associates in South Africa, brings her total comfortability in the wilderness, love of the land, and spirit of adventure and fun for life into all that she does. She is also a facilitator of large group process and team building in the corporate and organizational arena . Judy Bekker, Director of Renaissance Business Associates, has been a facilitator for 18 years working with youth and adults, both corporately and in the informal sector. Her great loves are people, wilderness and personal development work, particularly Rites of Passage circles
