FAMILY.EAT.PLANT. holds a special place in our hearts. We wrote it for all kinds of families and we celebrated our own: those who enrich our lives, those who are no longer with us and those still to join. Meanwhile, @maartjeborst has given birth to a beautiful, healthy boy and I cherish the wonderful memories of Pooh that warm my heart every day.

And to celebrate that Maartje just became a mother, we wanted to share this delicious recipe from our book by our dear friend @the.plant.folk.

Anouk, mother of 5, likes to make this festive vegan pancake pie for her children and they love it! Recipe via link in bio.

On the picture Lisa & Phiene, Anouk's wonderful daughters who enjoy the vegan lifestyle just as much as their mum.

Recently, someones said to me that he doesn't eat

Recently, someones said to me that he doesn't eat much meat and that he's fine with eating chicken because he believes it's the most sustainable. It always shakes me to my core when I hear people talk like that. That there are sustainable ways to eat meat, to eat something that lived and then didn't, killed by a human, intentionally. I thought about the word sustainable. Sustaining. Sustaining something. To call the killing of a sentient being, a chicken, an animal that was born, had a mother and a father and their own way of life and wants and needs, sustainable, to me, is such a good example of humans putting themselves above other life, a place where I believe we do not belong, because without all that other life, we could not be here.

I thought about Mother Earth and that she herself is the only one who can judge whether death is sustainable. If we would collectively decide that our place is not atop a pyramid, but in the circle of the whole web of life, we might begin to realise how interconnected we really are and how much we can learn from and be in awe of all those other creatures, including chickens, with whom with share this beautiful planet we call home.

In the book 'The pig who sang to the moon' Jeffrey Masson writes warmly about chickens:
'Perhaps if we had realized they are birds, with all the wonderful characteristics of birds, we would have paid closer attention to the ways in which chickens can enchant us. Take dust-bathing, for example. We call it a bath because the chicken finds a small indentation of dry earth and then proceeds to immerse herself in it as into a warm bath. The earth cleans her feathers. The first time I saw a chicken taking a dust bath, stretching out one iridescent wing and holding it up to the sunshine, then settling into the warmth of the afternoon only to fly effortlessly to a tree to roost in the evening, I was astonished.'

Let's be astonished again...

We only need to observe and listen to know that we are more alike than we have learned. I believe this is the most sustainable vision from which we can move forward.

This week is a special one. I'm working toward the

This week is a special one. I'm working toward the realisation of a little dream.

Over a year ago, Helen from @depeerdegaerdt asked me if I could offer herbal medicine to the sweet furry creatures who live on her land. Most of them have experienced trauma and come from horrible situations. Now they can spend the rest of their natural lives in peace on this beautiful property.

However, their bodies suffer from chronic conditions and I began to compile herbs to ease their physical (and often mental) challenges. We (because it is always a co-creation between plant, human caretaker and animal) have since then been providing herbal support to chickens, horses, dogs, pigs, ducks, goats, sheep and geese and have already learned so much and are still learning. Each individual is given their own unique protocol and we have witnessed miraculous healings.

Though it isn't a fairytale and it can be such a complex puzzle, I feel grateful to walk this path.

Sometimes it was just time to let go, sometimes we were too late to treat, sometimes we couldn't find the right protocol within a certain time frame, sometimes we were able to provide help and relief in the last period of an animal's life and sometimes they healed completely.

I believe that nature offers a solution for almost every situation, because everything and everyone is nature, it is just a challenge to connect the right dots within a certain amount of time, and sometimes it is just not up to us. I try to show up humbly and with a beginner's mind, which is a challenge in itself, and together - plant, animal and human - we get to work.

This Saturday, Helen and I will share a bit about that journey at our two-days introductory course 'naturopathy for humans and animals'. I have the honour of chatting again about the medicinal powers of herbs and how to connect with nature and the plant kingdom to build your own Plant Pharmacy. The amazing Margriet Cremers - Dudok van Heel will be teaching about all kinds of natural therapies for our pets. It is truly an honour to have this wise teacher on board.

Hopefully this course will be a success, so we can offer new courses next year.

This sweetheart, one of many and yet so unique. We

This sweetheart, one of many and yet so unique. We have been following Sam for more than half a year now. In those six months she arrived frightened and traumatised at her final destination, gave birth to 11 children, lost 2, learned to enjoy new food (thanks to her piglets), we saw her relax in the sun, she put a smile on her face during her first shower, she recovered from the coolness of a mud bath and above all for the first time in her life she could see her children grow up.

I was allowed to be present at many of these moments and tried to capture them on film. That was an honour and a grande experience for me personally. Being with her is ambiguous, and so is editing her photos afterwards. Besides a big smile on my face, more than once a tear rolls down my cheek. My heart enlarges and becomes warm and in the deepest part of my body I feel love flowing for her and all the others and at the same time there are those cracks in my heart and shooting pains through my body, because her eyes tell the whole story of everything she, her sisters and her children have been through.

A Pig, what a creature. What a special, intelligent, wise feeling creature. What a wealth that pigs exist on this earth and what a horrible reality what many people do to them.

We hope, by telling the story of Sam and her children, to contribute to the growth of a new world, one in which we see these creatures (and all others) instead of food as friends, as our teachers in this complex and layered existence on earth.

SUMMER SALE

Those who know me know that I love to write books about plants in service to animals and this precious earth, and for the last 15 years I have had the privilege of writing books, of making books. To share the desires of my heart in something as ancient and powerful as a book. It is a beautiful process, a creative journey and for me always a reflection of where I am at that moment.

I just finished the heartfelt and brilliant book T

I just finished the heartfelt and brilliant book The Pig Who Sang to the Moon: The Emotional World of Farm Animals by @jeffrey.m.masson. I have read my fair share of animal rights books and they all leave me sad. Of course they do. They tell the truth about the brutal acts we inflict on the non-human animals of this world. This book however moved me in a different way. I came across it when Sam (@mymomsam) was rescued. I really wanted to create an Instagram account and website with our team that would reach into the hearts of many and for that I wanted to find words that would resonate deep into my soul. It turned out I chose the right book. Although on many occasions I had to put it away to sob and to move through all that I was feeling, it was also uplifting to read about the magnificence of the animals we hardly get to see because most humans view them as food.

If there would be some books I would recommend reading now, it would be this book, Braiding Sweetgrass and De Eiwitleugen. On the latter I will share more soon.

I recently came across this quote shared by @enchantedfarmsanctuary. It sums up my longing and awe for the more than human world:

“We need another, a wiser, perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature & living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified & the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older & more complete than ours, they move finished & complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life & time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.” -The Outermost House
