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.

Around the age of 20 I made the intuitive choice to not only stop eating animal products, but also the use of allopathic medicines. I really believed in plants and was sad to learn that pharmaceuticals were (are) tested on animals. I did not want to be a part of such horrors, just as I did not want to be a part of the meat and dairy industry. So I not only went on a vegan adventure, I went on a herbal one as well.

Around the age of 30 I looked back and realised that for a decade I had not taken any chemical medicine and that I seemed to be doing just fine. I had only opted for plants and herbs that were close to my heart, herbs such as sage, camomile and elderberry. Herbs that I could see and smell and that made me feel good. I wanted to learn more about them and decided to follow a herbal medicine education. Plants were already dear to me, but during this time of study I began to perceive an ever deeper appreciation. After all, plants not only breathe us, they are also the basis of our food and are our very first medicine. They deserve a leading role in our lives, I thought.

What I learned, longed for and loved so much became a story that would reflect my love for this beautiful earth, a book called The Plant Pharmacy and with it I hoped to inspire the reader to see plants as dear friends and as our rightful food and medicine. And it seemed to work. I can now look back on a year during which I shared with more than 200 individuals about the power of plants through lectures and workshops. I was already super grateful for this, but there was still something awaiting me that I had forgotten about. Last Friday I received 'Éltető növények'', the Hungarian translation of The Plant Pharmacy by @scolarkiado. I browse through it, see something that resembles what I know, a beautiful design, my face and those dear plant friends, but in a language I cannot decipher. How magical.

In a time that feels raw to me, when nothing is certain and mankind seems to create its own downfall taking with him the natural world, there are always those plant friends from which I can draw hope and love. Love, the ingredient that is the greatest medicine for this time and our future.

During these healing times with Mister Pooh (he is doing wonderful by the way) I am not sharing much on the online world. I have experienced that most of my attention and focus flows out to my dear furry friend. I am extremely grateful for the time we are experiencing together and feel a sanity in this one on one life.

So how wonderful it was I felt that I had the possibility of sharing some of my thoughts through the medium of a podcast. I truly enjoyed chatting with the amazing @opzoekpodcast and @lobkefaasen. The podcasts we recorded gave me the possibility to share some of my deeper insights into veganism, herbal medicine and how inner work can be of service to stay compassionate and strong during these troubling times.

Yesterday @opzoekpodcast shared the talk we had some weeks ago. It is all about plant medicine, how you can heal yourself and re-find your own intuitive voice.

Herbal Medicine Workshop

The dark has entered and light seems to be far away. And although it is certain that flowers will bloom again and birds will sing, it is during the coming 3 months that one has to look inward to find things blooming and shining. For many these can be challenging months for the dark can feel endless. Fortunately there are friends from the plant kingdom at our disposal. Friends who can nudge us on our way towards our own inner light and who can warm us from the inside out, friends like Pine, Rosemary, St John's Wort and Marigold. These plants will never suppress. They would not know how to. They are bound to natural laws and listen to the voice of Mother Earth. They have their own subtle ways to recognise an obstacle or imbalance and are evolved, specialised and trained to offer just that what is needed to find balance once again.

During my next Plant Pharmacy Session on the 16th of November at @foam.food in The Hague I will share about my most precious herbal friends, how they can help during these dark months, and how you can easily put together your own herbal apothecary mostly focused on plants that can help you find inner joy and warmth so you can radiate light all through the end of Winter time.

We still have some spots open. You can sign up via link in my bio or Foam.

November 1, World Vegan Day and the day that I entered this realm 38 years ago.

I feel grateful to be born on a day on which people celebrate the most beautiful potential of humankind: to love, honour and protect all beings great and small. That is why I wholeheartedly embraced the Vegan lifestyle when I turned 20, 18 yrs ago. Up until then I had desperately searched for answers in regards to the way humans treat non-human animals, this planet and Mother Nature. Between the age of 11 and 20 I questioned everything, learned about the dominant carnistic world view that blinded many people, read all the research about the impact of the meat, fish and dairy industry on health, planet and animal, talked to beautiful souls who had broken out of that carnistic system and learned that there was a way of life possible that did not contribute to the endless cycle of birth, torture, suffering and death. A way of life beyond vegetarianism which still profits from horrific acts like breaking the holy bond between mother and child. A way of life fuelled by compassion and powered by plants while caring for this earth and all her inhabitants. It was the Vegan lifestyle presenting values that resonated in every cell of my body. Values that I had carried for 20 yrs in my heart but up until then had been called sentimental and naive.

Veganism became my way of life. An intention to wake up in the morning and choose to be a better person, to do better. The beauty of Veganism is that it holds compassion in its core and is build on the foundation of love. It preaches about the equality and beauty of all beings. To me that is love in its essence. Earth. Human and Non-human animal. Plants. ALL. That doesn’t mean that to love it all is an easy task. However it is the process of remembering and returning to this wisdom over and over again that makes it more alive in my own heart. So Veganism to me is the practice of returning to big L, EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

So on this day let us return to that great possibility we all carry in our hearts. Happy World Day!

Ps: I had a lovely chat with @lobkefaasen about my vegan journey. That podcast is out now (link in bio) if you wish to listen ♡.

Angelica.

I can feel the pull of autumn. Go inward she says. I work a bit outside, play with the fallen leaves and admire our robust and lush garden that now mainly consists of deep red and yellow colours. I have learned to let go of the garden, which has resulted in wonderful scenes. Plants that go their own way, cross branches and a clear tone of a few medicinal herbs. It is a nice feeling and sight. That the garden does what it can do best, live and die without my fiddling.

Much is written about the energetic and symbolic quality of autumn. I always ask myself what resonates in me and what I can observe for myself. As you may have already read, Mr. Pooh and I are on a special adventure. He is doing extremely well these days, and for me this adventure is an enlightenment on the process of life. Birth and death and birth and death— they keep going on and on, continually and eternally. As we become more accustomed to this flow, we start seeing things in a fresh way. We notice the uniqueness of each moment. Wise words by the wonderful Pema Chodron and words that resonate in every cell of my body during this autumnal time.

A special time before the start of the apparent silence. In return to the core. And appreciating that process. Without judgment and in full acceptance of what is. Yes, that is what autumn means to me now. I reflect some what more on this while I take sips of my Angelica tea. A tea that completely fits my now. Plants withdraw to nestle their powers in the roots. A part of the plant whose medicinal value is magically upgraded just by the touch of season. And the root of Angelica in particular is one I hold dear. Why? Her name says it all. As high as she reaches towards heaven, as firmly she digs herself into the earth. She listens to the name Angelica archangelica - angelic root - a name she didn't just get: it is said that this archangel provides a connection between heaven and earth and has a strong harmonising effect on the solar plexus, the place where self-acceptance begins. She indeed does that to me. She brings peace. Rest in my core, the place where life and death come together and infinity begins.

Welcome fall. Let peace begin.

VEGAN PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE

Slowly but firmly the holiday season is creeping in. Or consumerism is showing its face already on the shelves of the supermarkets. Am I against wintery celebrations? No of course not, but I do wish for an alignment in values when it comes to the meaning behind those festivities.

So let’s not stuff dead birds. But let's stuff our faces with vegan pumpkin cheesecakes.
Let’s not kill sentient beings for the festival of light and birth, let's honour them an enjoy a big plant based feast.
Let’s not trick for a treat to get a bag filled with shitty stuff, but let’s actually do something cool and receive something in return that actually supports our bodies, the earth and all beings.

Ok so enough with this chatter. Let’s start with that vegan pumpkin cheesecake I mentioned. Here is one. A real face stuffer indeed.

This cake holds the middle between pumpkin pie, cheese cake and pecan pie. Super-duper tasty. Serve with vegan whipped cream and maple-butter sauce for extra indulgence.

Now up on the @maneatplant blog.
