About
I'm a landscape designer, garden guardian assistance facilitator and workshop teacher and I love to inspire others to create a real garden of Eden. Spider Web
Weaving through existing ecosystems is my strategy to create Gardens of Eden. The spider has the same qualities as the prophet: waiting until the right moment. At the same time, it connects people, places, situations, etcetera. It takes care first of the basics (the web or in my case a carefully chosen plan for Beija Flor) and then comes to action.
Heal the landscape, heal the soul
Yes, I love to assist in the healing process of individuals; this is the biggest joy in my life and can be arranged by creating a garden together.

The idea to write a book about this topic arose three years ago, when I was living in a community in the Netherlands. Today, the community no longer exists. It began with beautiful intentions and positive energy, but it was difficult to sustain the formulated economic model. Simply put, we ran into financial trouble. As money became scarce,...
