MOTHER HAS HER LAND!

Yep! After nearly seven years of talking about it, MOTHER finally has a piece of land that's big enough and diverse enough to do her Research Center/Eco-Village concept proud.

What it is is 622.4 acres of beautiful mountains and valleys and streams and lakes and woods and open clearings located just about 10 minutes' drive from MOTHER's Hendersonville, North Carolina offices. The property contains lots of lovely nooks and crannies for: underground, passively solar-heated homes . . . research labs . . . solar and water and wind and other alternative energy experiments . . . wholistic gardens and greenhouses . . . wild food seminars . . . and all the many other activities that MOTHER intends to conduct in her environmentally planned community.

And—NO!—the property will not be open to the public this summer, fall, or winter. But, starting next spring , we do expect to be set up to receive visitors and start holding MOTHER's first seminar and work/study programs on her nearly one full square mile of land.

If all goes well, we'll have some photographs of the property to show you in the very next issue of this magazine.

SPEAKING OF SEMINARS

One of the talented new people who've recently joined MOTHER's staff is a fellow by the name of John Doyle. And John, as it just so happens, has only written somewhat more than 150 home study courses for the biggest companies in the home study field.

Which is exactly why MOTHER has John the Doyle traveling the country right at this moment . . . putting together a definitive course of instructions for a seminar and work/study program on underground housing. Yep! That's probably going to be the subject of the very first seminar and work/study program that MOTHER holds next spring . . . and, so far at least, it appears that MOTHER's course is only going to be the best thing that anyone anywhere has ever done on the design, construction, financing, passive solar heating, etc., of low-cost, do-it-yourself underground dwellings.

And that's just the first of the many programs MOTHER has planned for the future. Stay tuned for more exciting news about MOTHER's seminars!
