Bio - Ahmed Mulla
As an enthusiastic Engineer, Scientist and Educator/Facilitator Ahmed has a varied background. His passion for natural building has been sparked over the last few years by his love of nature and lean efficient design. This has seen him complete numerous workshops in Earthships, Strawbale, COB and Mudbrick methods in Victoria, Tasmania, New Zealand, India and Nepal. He is also passionate about reconnecting with tribal traditions (opening a re-wilding school), nutrition (operating an Ethical Food Van called FORAGE!) and community living (by establishing multiple communities in Victoria). Ahmed is looking forward to expanding his knowledge and network globally.
