rhythm of the dance 2020-11-25 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....
Animal purpose 2020-10-02 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....

made from fantasy 2020-04-28 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...
web of changes 2020-04-27 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....
Het Hele Land 2020-04-19 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...

glide in and out roles 2019-11-10 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,...
presentation 2019-01-01 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...

community glue 2018-08-10 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...
stone and dirt 2018-08-08 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...
feet Massage 2017-11-02 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...

settling nomad 2016-12-10 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...
endless seas of green 2016-11-23 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 season without time 2016-11-10 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...
feelingly 2016-11-07 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...
the big dream 2016-11-01 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...

Our village and beyond 2015-08-09 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...
dreaming of community 2015-04-24 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...
