Out now!

The Plant Pharmacy – koken met de kracht van de natuur – is een verhaal dat zo uit mijn hart kwam rollen, een epistel dat mijn liefde voor deze schitterende aarde weerspiegelt en een poging om onze groene bondgenoten in de spotlight te zetten die ze verdienen.

We're nature's creatures and we once knew the ways

We're nature's creatures and we once knew the ways of Earth and how to listen to the songs of Mother Nature.

That connection though is still present, in each and every one of us, it has always been there and will always be there, even though we try so hard to overrule and overshout it.

But to find the answers our time needs so desperately we have to find a way back to those ways to actually be able to move forward and for that we need to trust our intuitive voice.

I believe our intuition, uncorrupted as it is, is the bridge towards true healing.

And we need healing on so many levels.

Because health does not stand on its own.

True health for each and every one of us is not a separate thing.

If our soil is depleted, if our waters our polluted, if the air is toxic, if the plants aren't their best expression of nature, if every day the ether fills with the cries of sentient beings how can we talk about health.

So to experience health we not only have to show up for our brilliant and magical body who gives us so much information and guidance, we also have to show up for all that is alive on and the body of this planet.

And if we do so, we hopefully start to see the magical tapestry that underlies everything and connects every one of us and maybe, hopefully true healing will happen.

Grateful to have been able to share my heart's longings with the @houseofessence.nl podcast which is out now on their platform.

In this episode we dive into the world of plant medicine and if and how we can become our own doctors (again). I share about my journey with the plant kingdom and Mother Nature and what this has brought me over the years. We talk about the importance of our intuition when it comes to your own health, but also about our connection to Earth. I explain about the various healing effects of plants and how you can start working with these green allies.

SAFE!
And then suddenly my dad and beloved were a part of the movement. I will never forget the day that my sweet dad Harry saved chickens. I am making it a bit bigger than it was, but last Saturday he brought 18 rescued chickens to the @depeerdegaerdt estate where they can now live the rest of their natural lives. (I can't tell you more about it because of safety reasons.) So yesterday I created a supportive herbal plan for these feathery darlings. Good nutrition and medicinal plants, because even though these sweethearts looked a little better than what sometimes is the case, the bald spots, pale combs and clipped beaks reminded of where they came from and where many of their sisters still are and will die.

Things like this come with a smile and a tear. A smile of gratitude that these 18 beings have been saved and can discover in relative freedom what it means to be a chicken. A tear because so many others will not be saved from this industry that is so malicious, brutal and dark that I am still amazed every day that something like this can and should see the light of day at all. Please wish these chickens a lot of love and health.

Im memoriam: those who suffer and die every day under the hand of man.

Last week I had the opportunity to work at @depeer

Last week I had the opportunity to work at @depeerdegaerdt. An estate located in the heart of the Hoeksche Waard. A place where all beings are free, where the trees whisper softly and colorful and medicinal flowers provide a pharmacy for the two-legged, four-legged and the winged heroes.

Here, on this land, I once again saw my deepest desire and core values reflected ankle deep in the mud. Cold and early in the morning it was clear to me what my path is in life. From a place of awareness and with a huge smile on my face I strolled from Rintje the horse, to Mary the pig and Donald the 50-year-old goose, the two ducks and mrs. chicken. With a suitcase filled with herbs I was allowed to research how to support these specific animals with the richness of nature during their second chance of life.

Second chance animals is what they call the creatures here who are rescued from the industry. It is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time to witness. Creatures with so much identity who can now discover themselves in relative freedom and explore what it means to be a pig, duck or chicken. Painful because these animals have to live with a broken body which is trying so hard to find balance. Born with the message to die soon, then given a second chance, all kinds of things happen in those bodies. Two forces that manifest themselves clearly. One says live, the other says die. And then there is humankind who has the ability to try to support as best as he/she can with the gifts of Mother Earth. A gray area of not knowing and intuition in which he/she can try to find an answer, direction and medicine.

For a while now, I’ve been trying to listen to our furry brothers and sisters. What they need and if I can help. The plants play an important role, because I am more familiar with their language. Thanks to @veronique_gerrits, @de_nobele_hoeve and Juliette de Bairacli Levy, I feel supported to further explore this path. With a beginner’s mind, stripped of all assumptions we as humans mostly have about the animal kingdom, I try to show up. —> continue in comments…

PRE-ORDER DOG.EAT.PLANT. A new story, a new proce

PRE-ORDER DOG.EAT.PLANT.

A new story, a new proces, a new publisher and a new co-writer. Everything about this book is different from the others, except my feeling about it ;-). Oh my, what a story are we gonna share. A necessary story. Because yes, man has built a friendship with the dog and brought him/her into his home. Most of these dogs eat meat. You can imagine what kind of footprint this four-legged inhabitant has and what his/her impact is on animal suffering and the climate. Not the dog's fault, but humans can do something about it. They can choose a better way to feed the dog and thus greatly reduce that impact on the climate and all that animal suffering. We will go into this extensively and in depth in the book.

Feeding dogs a plant-based diet is a better way. The health benefits have been proven. In the book we also listed all the data in this context, interviewed veterinarians and scientists and of course listened to experts. But in the end it is the dog that shows us that he/she can thrive on plants. And we have also portrayed a number of them. Add to that an incredible preface by Dr. Richard Pitcairn and one hell of a confirmation and quote from vet and TV presenter Piet Hellemans and I can only say that this book will break down systems and open doors.

However that opening of doors will not come without a struggle. Many people are stuck in their beliefs. Perhaps veganism is becoming mainstream, but plant-based food for dogs... well fill in the blanks.

Fortunately supporters are standing up. People who read, do the research, ask questions and see dogs getting better on this diet. And that is the support we need to get this story out there. And that's why I'm asking you for help! You can help us a lot on this wonderful day for animals, the 4th of October by:

1. Pre-ordering the book. This can be done via our site or my own webshop, link in bio. We will launch in Dutch, but the English version is hopefully coming soon.

2. Following us on @dog.eat.plant.2020

Well that was quite a story. But one that will initiate an even more important one which will be launched into the world in November and of which you can be a part!

Around the age of 10 I found myself being a part o

Around the age of 10 I found myself being a part of a great cycle, not standing on top of a piramide. Animals felt as friends, companions by my side on this path of life. I became a vegetarian, which let to becoming vegan at the age of 20, discovering plants as nourishing foods and with that the diversity, richness and medicinal value of the plant kingdom.

I became vegan because the values behind this lifestyle resonated with every inch of my being. Veganism to me is a profound vision that starts with compassion and results in saving lives, supporting the body and taking care of nature while living together in harmony on this beautiful planet. And I believe it is harmony we all long for.

As beings that thrive when feeling connected and as nature's creatures being dependent on the health of the soil, water, air, trees and all the other beings that are a part of nature's brilliant cycle, choosing plants on our plates and eating mindfully is an act of love each day for our non-human brothers and sisters, our own body and the body of this Earth.

To participate in this story you do not have to be an activist, you can just choose to contribute in small ways. Small ways always have a bigger impact than we often believe. Donate to a sanctuary, sign a petition, support organisations that stand up for the soil, the earth, nature's creatures, the plants and the trees, buy from organic, local, independent businesses, invest your money in that which will contribute to healing. And above all choose plants on your plate (and of your furry dog friend as well).

And for today it can be as small (and therefor as big) as putting your signature beneath the campaign just launched by @worldanimalprotectionnl to stop the billions of Euro's going into destructive industries that kill sentient beings and our home.

@maartjeborst and I developed these cute cookies to support the campaign. You can sign the petition/letter today and receive the recipe and cookies cutters as a little thank you. Campaign in bio.

A few weeks ago my little fam and I had the opportunity to spend the night at a place where the chickens hop around freely, the piglets oink happily and the sheep lead a life as intended. I am talking about @detuinvandesmid (The Blacksmith’s garden), located in Cronesteyn park.

Once we entered the land, I was overcome by something I cannot describe otherwise as childlike happiness. Perhaps mixed with a hint of melancholy. Nostalgia for how it should be, but without sadness, because in this melancholy I also discovered a longing for this kind of togetherness. To be together with lovely people, animals and plants. Not on a beautiful mountain or in a deserted forest, but here in this small green oasis, the world opened up again and I saw all that is still possible. Possibly in a world that creaks and crumbles underneath our feet, in which nothing is certain and in which there is so much suffering. I felt like a dandelion, finally sprouting between a crack in the pavement and coming into full bloom, against all odds and unimpeded by the environment.

We slept under the starry sky and above the flock of sheep. In the early morning we went outside for a walk. The September light twinkled through the trees, the sheep cast a theatrical shadow on the land, and the cobwebs were beautifully covered with pearls of water. After a lovely warm outdoor shower we enjoyed the best vegan breakfast. We wanted to stay forever, but time was coming for us to go home. So we said goodbye to the pigs, the donkeys, the sheep, the guinea fowl and the chickens. We sat quietly in the wet grass surrounded by curious beaks. We examined each other in amazement, without judgment and from a sense of equality. It hurt a little bit to say goodbye, but we were comforted by the fact that these beings live wonderful, natural and safe lives here. With rosy cheeks and a warm heart we drove off the estate and closed the gate behind us. We looked back one more time and said, when are we going again?
