I decided to work for ecological habitat: I built my own yurt
I had the opportunity to do an interview for "Passerelle Eco"
about a women who built her own yurt
thanks to another woman's idea
and I realized that I could do the same
and it was wonderful.
I made a step forward and I built my own yurt
Why did you do it ?
The need to be autonomous, creative and able to do exceptional things.
Also the need to be an actor to change the world was strong,
I was doing it, I was there, I lived inside the yurt several times
How did you do it ?
It's easy ! just small and simple actions.
We chop wood, we drill holes in it,
we join pieces of wood together with string.
It's simple, really simple and its' pleasant.
When I did it by myself, I spent less than 1000 euros
What was satifying to yourself ?
I feel more secure.
Its' easy to do and it's a kind of personal fulfilment.
You "build" yourself by building something.
You meet a lot of people because we can't do it alone of course.
Some give advices, others lend a sewing machine,
we go and pick up bamboos together
and build the yurt together.
Some tasks are technical but
you learn to do it by sharing skills.
I think it's a beautiful home and I forgot to say
there is a special energy inside the yurt.
The circle energy is a particular energy.
And I like being linked to nomadic life in Mongolia,
it makes sense to me.
