Rakesh is also engaged in intentional community building, using sociocracy and other tools and processes to create positive social bonds within various individual projects and communities. He is also passionate about teaching how to be self-reliant and self-providing in a sustainable way, crafting and creating whatever you need instead of depending. For instance building your own low impact house, capturing and storing energy; fuel efficient heating systems (rocket heaters and stoves); water capture, purification and recycling systems.

What permaculture has to offer to a group of people leaving the city to create a thriving off-grid community. Rakesh will offer some creative and practical tools on living in on-the-land, in terms of food growing and storage, low impact housing, source of fuel, heating, water capture and purification. Furthermore he will touch briefly on fermentation and probiotics as a form of food preservation and personal health.
