We loved last week's colloboration with Inner Blocks so much we decided another tribe pair up would be equally fun! This fortnight we're hanging out with Build-It, a cool tribe that many of you will resonate with. Build-it are about empowering and strengthening DIY projects, how to tutorials and life hacks. They were set up to reward high quality DIY and 'how to' projects and you can earn 'build' tokens by using recommended tags such as #diy, #build-it, #how-to, #doityourself and #build. They even have a condensor - https://build-it.io/.

Natural Medicine often sees these tags alongside #naturalmedicine because many of our folk are equally into self sufficiency and resourcefulness, making their own rather than buying from a store. We've run challenges like this before where we've seen all kinds of 'make your own' projects such as making your own deodorant or clothes washing powder, and of course lots of yummy healthy food recipes!!

This challenge is a little different because we're going to ask you to 'make' your own project from scratch - something you have never made before but always wanted to. We want you to document it as a step by step 'how to' in an engaging and creative a way as possible.

Try to choose something challenging! We love Build-It's tag line: DO IT NOW! This could be a great opportunity to start that project you've been putting off for ages!

You must 'build' or 'make' something that relates to 'natural health' - this, of course, is very broad! Some ideas:

• Build your own altar for meditative rituals
• Build an outdoor fire bath for self-care
• Make your own deodorant
• Make your own apple cider vinegar or try pickling for the first time
• Set up a self watering system for your permaculture garden
• Make your own still for essential oils
• Make a hydrosol out of your favourite herb
• Try making your own vitamin pills
• Make your own soap
• Make your own colloidal silver
• Make your own vegan cheese

𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚣𝚎𝚜!

This ones a HUGE one because we recognise we're asking you to do something quite BIG and CREATIVE!
