Scything I enjoy more and more. When done right, and I am still learning for sure, it is a calming experience. Especially when scything early in the morning. When the world is still quite. When leaf & stem are still...

Since a few days, a mass of starlings swarms across the property. In the morning and evening, they put on a spectacular show. Amazing to these birds become one giant harmonious play in the...

Since a long time, I went out again for a run. As in most activities, if not all, Spot joins me. Going for a walk or a run is one thing he gets excited about each and every...

Nowadays information comes to us in big quantities and through various channels. There is a need to know what information one can trust / is true. The most obvious reaction to need is to find a way to validate information. This way we can separate...

Het is er van gekomen, de boomstronk die er maanden lang lag heeft eindelijk een plaats gekregen tussen het groen. Deze bijenwoning is een experiment met een meer natuurlijke...

The path towards the life I desire often involves leaving certain things behind. Moving into a life more of my choosing meant for me that the importance/relevance of the weekly rhythm would naturally diminish....

I love for animals, such as our dog Spot, to be more integrated into my daily life. A life where dogs (or any other animal) have more freedom and fulfill more roles as they do now, is something I dream off....

Ik heb een ongewoon werk ritme. Met werken bedoel ik dan werken voor een loon. Soms werk ik een maand aan een stuk, soms een week, soms enkele de voormiddag en soms werk ik een maand lang niet. Ik doe verschillende interim jobs en werk gestaag als...

I would love to see communities that jump out with their own unique vibe & theme. Communities that are really creative with the shaping of the terrain, with the style and function of the structures, the way they organize...

Changing my way of living comes with introducing something new. For example letting go of material excess in my life. With this one change comes a whole new range of new life "style" changes as they are connected with it....

Een paar jaar geleden had ik het idee om een vzw, een legale structuur op te richten. Dit idee ontstond als gevolg en noodzaak door hoe ik me graag in de toekomst wou bewegen. Hoe ik in het leven wou staan, in wat voor wereld/community/plek ik graag...

Ik wil gewoon grond; geen landbouw grond, geen bouw grond, geen recreatie grond, ... Ik wil gewoon grond. Grond waar we op wonen, slapen, eten, oogsten, wandelen, planten, zwemmen, ......

Op een avond hebben de bewoners van de community waar ik verblijf, het geld van een job, waar allen hebben aan deelgenomen, procesmatig...

How I see it, one of the basic dynamics/movements that are supportive to form a stable community, is the ablity for people to move in and out roles. To be able to move in and out the role of caretaker, of gardener, of follower, of leader, of cook,...

Some sort of open letter to the world. To bring forward our starting/initial idea and intent. In the hope it does strike a personal note with people who can aid us. Aid in the search and obtaining of land. Most likely to be in 3 languages...

It has been a while I have seen this video but it still speaks to me; Jean Leidloff with The Continuum...

Maybe community needs a glue. Something that sticks it together. But that seems like the wrong word though. It feels like keeping something together that can not be together on it's own. Sticking it together preventing the parts to...

I love to create things in a way they can be easily uncreated. Most items we buy today, a house, a car, become a burden when they no longer have a purpose. The processes involved to uncreate those objects is...

Barefeet walking gives one's feet a sturdy massage. Doing so it can, according to my experience, loosen up all kind of things. In foot reflexology, different zones on the sole of the feet are related to corresponding organs. Walking barefeet for...

It is possible in the world today with all our rules and restrictions to create an environment where the inhabitants can live their lives freely the way they feel like and that their way of living is protected, not interfered with. An animal...

The body, the most efficient and direct converter. Converting sunlight into your needs. Power your body with foods that grow as close to Earth's skin. Doing so you found the most direct way to harvest energy from the sun and turn into into your...

I would love to have a travelling or nomadic element in my life. Not in the form of a holiday, an annual vacation, a compensation for my regular life, or something pure recreational. But more so as an integrated functional aspect of my...

To see the endless fields of green, unused, just laying there. Whole kingdoms could have cropped those fields. Now they are the home of cows, if any. Now they just lay there, unused. Now they just lay there, untouched. Unused. While the man in the...

A tryout in tiny home living. I have been exploring/sketching many...

What it would be like to live without the man created concept of time. I would like to experience a season, as a starter, without any time references. To be unaware of the amounts of days that have passed and unable myself to calculate it. To be...

It's February and one expects cold winter days. But a few days ago it felt warmer than usual. For me it was a good opportunity to try and act more on what I experience and less on habits. Doing so it felt warm enough to take off my sandals and...

How I would like to see hubs of tiny communities arise upon the barren agro cultural fields. How borders would be nonexistent, how it becomes just one whole. How borders become vague and give rise to beautiful new dynamics. How the world becomes big...

All is grown by the power of the Sun. This sun energy is stored in Flora. We typically release this stored energy, this sun energy, by burning through fire. But to choose another burning method instead, composting. As a replacement, or as an...

I am walking down a forest with a bright green canopy and a brown yellow floor. The kind of forest that lets light in, and highlights it’s own colors. It’s wide and spacious and it brings relaxation to the person who wanders it. It’s nice to be in...

How I would love to build or join a small community. To have a home base where I can return to. Where all my belongings are and where the heart is. To have a place where I can be myself. Where the diversity in us strengthens us. Where all members...
