Ananda Bharati buildings
Buildings: (2004... Ireland) The main house has three bedrooms with bunk beds with capacity of 13. There’s a dining room, kitchen and bathroom inside the house and two bathrooms and a laundry room outside the house as well as an outdoor dining area. There’s also a composting toilet outside the house. They have just finished a round meditation building room in the back of the house overlooking the river. There’s an earth bag dome building on the land that will be turned into a sauna as well as a woodshed and tool shed. Heat in the building is with wood and cooking is with wood and gas. Water is heated with wood. They have a wind turbine which will be installed soon and electric energy will soon be solar and wind powered. There are also plans to put in a biogas plant.
They have a septic system and a gray water system that separates their black water and uses a re-bed system to filter the water. In addition they have a well for drinking water. They built a bakery from a converted cow shed – utilizing hemp and lime. It is fully equipped for baking and processing fruits and vegetables. The bakery was built with donations that included the Margaret Mudd legacy as well as door to door soliciting. There’s a barn that they hope to convert into a healing and meditation center and there’s a mobile home and caravan for families and guests.
