ABOUT ME

I'm half Dutch, half Polish, grew up in France, lived in the USA and now in Canada!

I love classical music, I love the tango, I love visual arts, rowing, hiking, rock climbing (but I don't do it anymore), my cat Isis, languages, traveling...

I live in a Camphill community with special needs people on a biodynamic farm on Vancouver Island. This community was born out of my husband's and my initiative.

I'm a widow, I have three sons, three daughters-in-law, seven grandchildre and one great-grandchild.

PHILOSOPHY

Anthroposophy

I don't believe in insurance nor do I support inoculations!
