Composting Our Inner and Outer Sh*t: Scarab Compost Toilet Building Workshop on Qursaya Island

A nine-day, hands-on community building workshop on the Nile to collectively create a Scarab Compost Toilet using ancient building techniques and local natural materials. Learn clay building and plastering, 3D clay sculpture and ecological composting systems, and sculpt a giant scarab into the earthen walls, turning the toilet into living art. In ancient Egypt the scarab symbolised transformation and rebirth: a fitting heart for a system that returns "waste" to the cycle of life. Alongside the building, the group explores turning waste, old patterns and challenges into fertile material for something new.

Facilitated by Zein Gaia, in collaboration with Together Temple, Rise Together Quest and Lotus Rising.
