The Peace Sound Chamber 2002 The area, is called 'Mautse' by the traditional people, the place of the living water. The community that lives here have created models, which are each individuals representation of how they feel one can live, in harmony with the Earth and Nature. Some individuals choose to live with silence and use only natural products. Others choose to utilise the advantages of modern day tec-know-logic-cool progression and work with these to create a better world with respect for nature. There are as many expressions of life here as there are people. Building the House 1997 Dom tending the fire Drum Workshops 2001 The Sweat Hut 2001 One of our objectives as a community is to create a role model for post millennium living. Models to show people, by example, how it is practically possible to live a good life. Rustlers is not the only example in this country, there are many communities who are working hard to become self supportive. We are developing a permaculture garden around the house and tapping the water the mountain has to offer.   Marimba house is completely   Solar powered    For information on using Marimba House for private Ceremonies or workshops Photo Album Join our Mailing list   Credo Mutwa & Virginia at the opening of Marimba House on May 5th 2000.
