Calif Booksigning and Lecture Tour 2005 for 
EcoNest: Creating Sustainable Sanctuaries of Clay, Straw, and Timber 
with Paula Baker-Laporte and Robert Laporte 
EcoNests are simple, elegant, and healthful handcrafted dwellings that welcome
owner participation in their construction. They utilize natural building
techniques including timber framing, clay/straw walls, earth plastering, and
natural, non-toxic finishes. 
EcoNest explores the benefits of building a healthful home. The average person
spends 90-95% of their time indoors, therefore, the home should be a sanctuary
that nurtures your body, mind and spirit.
