From fear to transformation
I am writing this in the 4th week of our lockdown which the UK government in this case, has decided to put in place. The purpose of this is obviously to stop the spread of this serious virus that is a danger to the elderly and less healthy people. I totally get that and I am not really against it but…..I feeling more frustrated the longer this lockdown goes on because I know there is a solution: testing so people who are immune can go back to work and keep part of the economy going. On the other hand, I have to say that personally I have never liked our economy: there is too much inequality and it is all about money and less about being human. We still have too much fighting, violence, sexual abuse of mainly women and girls and making people work under terrible conditions, even slavery. Then there is the abuse of the earth – the climate change, pollution, extinction of animals and also our very unhealthy food and drink habits causing illness and attacking our immune systems. Let’s be real: this virus may have come at a time that we really need to stop and think what the hell we are doing! Also, how can we transform our system to a healthier and more beneficial lifestyle for everyone.

You are a natural
In 2012 I made the decision to move from Amsterdam to Glastonbury in England. Glastonbury is also known as The Isle of Avalon and many people are called by this special place like I was. When I came there for the first time in 2002 I felt like coming home: there was a feeling of unconditional acceptance for who I am and this gave a feeling of space and freedom, in such a way that I never felt before. I travelled there as many times as I could and every time I felt so charged that it became more and more diffcult to leave this place. I knew that I wanted to stay and leave behind my old life so I could embrace a new and more natural way of living.
