Description

Eric and I are on a quest to learn and understand growing food while restoring the planet and our gut through good food without pesticides and more nutrition density. Whilst also understanding and accepting more of ourselves, body and mind.

We value openness, responsibility and authenticity.

We are already reading a lot about but like to learn more about permaculture gardening, food forests, foraging, fermenting, repairing, building, cooking, other cultures and customs, language and expressions and probably much more.

Books like:
Teaming with Microbes, The Humanure Handbook, from Dirt to Soil, Holzer's Permacultuur, Breathwork Manual, Come Together, Doom and Bloom and much more.

----- Robin:
I thrive when working in a team. A solid group cohesion is important to me. I can do physical work but with some variety. I enjoy chatting and exploring feelings and emotions. When nobody is listening I play guitar and sing softly, but mostly for my own unless someone sings loudly with! When we go on walks I climb in trees, I drink only caffeine free tea's because it makes me jittery. I like to make video's from our vacations for memories and sometimes pictures with the DSLR. Together with Eric I am practicing more breath work, gratefulness and authentic relating (in an online course).

----- Eric:
I enjoy physical work, calisthenics, hiking and running. You can find me rummaging in book stores looking for old books from around the world. Or in the spice cabinet looking for new combinations to try out and cook for (and with) the group. I can talk way too long about politics, and specifically the extremists side out of pure fascination for the absurdity. And at the end of the day I like to curl up with a book and a big cup of tea.
