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.

A typical plant that reminds me of spring is the Dandelion. And indeed she is a typical spring herb that has been praised for her medicinal qualities for more than a thousand years.

Taraxacum officinale improves the whole metabolism, stimulates digestion and kidneys, is a wonderful tonic for the liver and gallbladder and gives a boost to the whole body. Dandelion is a true bitter tonic. The leaves are reminiscent of endive and are delicious mixed in a salad of leafy greens. The flowers are soft, slightly sweet, and suitable for making syrup (recipe in The Plant Pharmacy). You can make capers from the buds (recipe also in my book). From the root teas and tinctures are made. In The Plant Pharmacy I call her 'powerful as a lion, honest as a child and energetic as the sun'. Still mown by many and seen as a weed, but powerful indeed she is and in need of a spotlight. And right now... she is starting to shine her light. Later in spring her leaves are typical to eat. But at this moment? It is still her root that holds most power, just like in autumn.

More than ever we are called to look at nature and learn from her. Learn what we may receive and what we can give back. We are still her hands and feet and even though we are bound to the indoors right now we can still give back.

If you have a garden, find that dandelion or plant her! If you don't have a garden, you can find organic dandelion root online. Drink a tea of the root daily for two week and than transfer to the leaves. Boil the root for at least 20 minutes (covered). Let sit for another 15 (covered). And drink during the day. Or...how about this beautiful Dandelion Detox Latte which I created in collaboration with @holistiknl and @provamel. This beneficial rice coconut drink enriched with dandelion root offers a beautiful support for a spring cleanse. We can strengthen by cleansing. And when cleansing it is best to stay at home and take is slow. So maybe this is the time to offer our bodies that bit of extra support. Recipe for the dandelion latte in my bio.

And what can we give back? Once in seed, blow them everywhere. Her light is needed in the world.

Today in the spotlight a piece of heaven on earth: where man and animal live in harmony. Where peace resides and all languages are understood. Where no one is judged and everyone prospers. Today in the spotlight @de_nobele_hoeve.

As you maybe know from a few posts back, 2 weeks ago I was able to join in on the rescue of 6 piglets of 3 mths old. Piglets who were not going to be slaughtered at 6 mths, but transferred to their forever home at De Nobele Hoeve instead. This mission came together because of 3 miraculous woman: Lea, Margarit and Babette. It was Babette's dying wish to rescue a pig from slaughter. It became 6. Babette died of cancer last Saturday. Her ashes will be buried in a tree that will be planted in the forest between the piglets ✨. After the mission I lay in the hay between those dreamy pink beings, who were happy and breathing their first breaths of forest air. One piglet approached me and gave me a kiss. There I was, laying in hay, being kissed by a happy piglet, with a camera in my hand. My heart got quite and I felt a joy that I had not felt for a long time. All was well.

Then corona happened and I now am hoping that these times of crises will mean an acceleration for a plant based world. A world without animal suffering. A planet that is green and lush. A place where human and non human animals live side by side and enjoy the nourishing and healing powers of the plant kingdom. And to me Margarit is showing the way; how species can come together and live in harmony. But she too needs support to be able to keep on taking care of all the beings at DNH. So therefor I call on everyone who as a bit of money to spare in the hope you can consider making a donation in the name of Babette, the 6 piglets, the other DNH beings and Margarit's tremendous work. You can donate via link in bio.

On the picture, my piggy baby kiss and the next two are of Setje, who has been named after me. And indeed we are alike; happy, a bit silly and most of all very eager.

Think Global, Act Local.

The next initiative that I wish to put in the spotlight is by @thedutchweedburger. This story and company I love so deeply is navigating through challenging waters. With this new reality the main source of income - delivery to restaurants and events - has come to a stand still. So Mark and team worked hard to come up with new ways of being of service and offering the burger. The result is the campaign ’SERVE LOCAL, THINK GLOBAL’ offering a Dutch Weed Burger survival package right at your door step! So yes! From today you can actually order your own stack of Weed Burgers! Check out link in bio to learn more and place an order. 🙏🌿🌍🍔

During these peculiar times many are sharing their thoughts and creative expressions. It is elevating to see many rising under this new reality, which I find truly hopeful. My personal movement is inward. A dreamer that I am, with a big body of feelings I am wandering into the depths of my own conditions, stories and emotions. So I will not add an opinion to this collective experience, rather I wish to share that I feel a deep trust in Mother Earth. I do not wish to argue with her, so I am trying to follow her lead which is a curious one.

What I will share the coming period is some herbal inspiration, because the plants show themselves as allies once again and some ways to support small entrepreneurs that are close to my heart and who are in need of support while navigating these restless waters.

Today in the spotlight my dearest friend and vegan cheffie hero @maartjeborst. This amazing, strong and big hearted woman is a geek for anything to do with plant food, history or sustainability and is currently making the most brilliant vegan baking book (enriched with her own funky illustrations!) this world has ever seen. And I feel privileged to be doing the photography for this amazing project (yes cover shot by me ;-)). It will really be a pearl of a book and you can now pre-order it via her new webshop. This is a wonderful way to support her, 'cause of course she too had to close down her cafe Koffie ende Koeck last week.

You can pre-order the book via link in bio of @koffieendekoeck.

With love,
Lisette

Yesterday I experienced an intensity of life's possibilities, complexities and lessons wrapped up into one. It showed me that where there is pain, resentment and hate, there is a lesson to be learned and there can be love as well. Yesterday @de_nobele_hoeve, @leaforjustice & I went to pick up six darling beings who had been chosen by a farmer to not go to slaughter but instead spent the rest of their natural lives in a newly built wooden home in a little forest in Brabant. It was a roller coaster of impressions. We stayed calm during a whirlwind of seemingly conflicting emotions. We stayed strong when we knew that 1794 other evenly sweet and smart beings would not experience this natural way of live, but a bolt to the head and knife through the throat in less than 3 months. We eased our hearts and dried our tears when a truck passed us on the way to the farm filled with babies who would become hamburgers very soon. We were kind to the farmer who called the pigs her sweeties and who was an enjoyable being. I did not want to like her. I wanted to hate her. But I couldn't, because I did not feel hate. I did feel confusion, guilt, grief, sadness, pain, love, joy and gratitude. We got a glimpse of the complexity of life and the yin and the yang and all in between. Behind every door there is a story to be told, waiting for us to be listened to, so we can be of service in the best possible way with gentle hearts and a strong presence. There is not one kind of farmer, vegan or form of activism. It is where we can meet and find a similarity, where possibilities present themselves. That is why 6 beings where released yesterday.
The babies where in panic and scared when we had to transfer them. They were over the moon with joy when they launched themselves in a freshly painted barn filled with clean hay. They had never seen the light of day and in an hour they accepted their new life and fully embraced it. No looking back, no sadness, but utter joy and happiness. We cried and laughed and our hearts were full when we closed the door of the wooden barn, knowing that that night 6 babies would be safe and experience their first night of the rest of their hopefully long lives.

A forest for pigs at De Nobele Hoeve.

Stories are being unraveled, narratives changed and slowly but firmly we are beginning to see how everything is connected and with that the road to the change that is so urgently needed.

Joaquin Phoenix's stated so bravely in his Oscars speech: 'I think, whether we’re talking about gender inequality or racism or queer rights or indigenous rights or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice. We’re talking about the fight against the belief that one nation, one people, one race, one gender, one species, has the right to dominate, use and control another with impunity.' And 'human beings at our best are so creative and inventive, and we can create, develop and implement systems of change that are beneficial to all sentient beings and the environment.' And 'I think that’s when we’re at our best: when we support each other. Not when we cancel each other out for our past mistakes, but when we help each other to grow. When we educate each other; when we guide each other to redemption'. And exactly that is what's happening at @de_nobele_hoeve.

Founder Margarit Gerrits is in her own miraculous way changing how we view the sentient beings who are still being held captive and killed by the dominant carnistic belief system. But she is doing it not by fighting, but by showing how intelligent, sweet and wonderful pigs are. She is working on a very big plan and for that plan to come together some pieces of a big puzzle will be laid this Saturday. Then 6 pigs who would soon be slaughtered will not go to the slaughterhouse, but arrive at De Nobele Hoeve and for that to happen she needs your help! Part of the plan and to build these pigs their forever home she is going to create a beautiful forest. This will cost money and I am reaching out to all of you in the hope that some may have something to spare and are capable and willing to support Margarit financially on her big pig adventure. By supporting her, you will be supporting something truly magnificent that is unfolding at De Nobele Hoeve and I am forever grateful for all the work Margarit is doing for all beings.
