“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of god. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
(Marianne Williamson)
"Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own – indeed, to embrace the whole creation in all its diversity, beauty and wonder. This will happen if we see the need to revive our sense of belonging to a larger family of life, with which we have shared our evolutionary process.
In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other.
That time is now.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has challenged the world to broaden the understanding of peace: there can be no peace without equitable development; and there can be no development without sustainable management of the environment in a democratic and peaceful space. This shift is an idea whose time has come."
(Wangari Maathai)

Deeply fascinated by nature, she started in 2000 her Herbalist's study on the European Academy of Complementary Health Care in Ghent, Belgium. A new world opened up, broadened and deepened her views. She received the Camilla Prize at her graduation, but graduating was only the beginning...
Studying Nature Guide at the Centre for Nature and Environmental Education in Antwerp gave her insight in ecosystems and ecological management, as all is connected. She observed the animal and plant life for one whole year in a nature reservation, to open her senses to subtle seasonal changes.
Enthusiast, inspired, and amazed by Nature's smallest details, she kept searching for old wisdom and new knowledge, talking to people, trees and plants and listening to their stories. She deepened her experiences during her "Sprit & Practice of the Wise Woman Tradition" course with Susun Weed.
Since a few years she joined artist collective Irmafirma to give shape to the projects "Urban Survival Kit: Edible Brussels/ Amsterdam", where the wild fauna and flora of big cities is viewed in a refreshing different way.(=> view the video on Herboristeria's blog above)
She gives lectures, courses and workshops for everyone – graduated herbalists or absolute beginners- in which she stimulates people to get to know, and work with, the plants, trees and herbs surrounding them.

~I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.~
Henry David Thoreau, 1817 - 1862
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't
learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn
a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we
didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
I found this new band that I just loved and I thought I'd share some of
their music and see what you thought...They are a Psychedelic Folk band
called Espers...
Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but
all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued
bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man
has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love.
Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly
helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp
his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him
by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with
life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a
king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere. In
freedom it gives itself unreservedly, abundantly, completely. All the
laws on the statutes, all the courts in the universe, cannot tear it
from the soil, once love has taken root."
~ Emma Goldman
Stars prick their bed of pink bleeding blue
Find there way to you eyes as I stare into you
My heart beats away in the twilight
This is the first of our summer nights
"When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and
you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is
giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and
you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been
your delight."
~Khalil Gibran

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
