After 30 years of living in Brussels and working for the European Commission as a linguist and gentle provoker of change, I have retired from organizational life and city living. I now live on a smallholding in the Flemish countryside (Belgium) in community with two close friends, where we practice conscious co-creation with place, applying the principles and methods of permaculture.

As a fully paid-up member of the Kosmos, I say ‘yes’ to resonant calls to engage in or propagate evolutionary learning, both close to home and further afield. I have a special interest in practices that can foster the emergence of collective consciousness in groups and am particularly drawn to soul-centred collective practices (such as collective presencing and collective alchemy). It goes without saying that I am not doing this alone – I am engaged in a world-wide web of conversation, collective inquiry and co-creation with practitioners of various disciplines.

In recent years I have started to respond to a strong call to return to the Wild and rediscover my pagan roots as an indigenous European, spending more time in nature and in the company of other women. I am an avid reader of Kosmos Journal!

I blog at: Integral Yeshe, Aquarian Conversations and Dorpsstraat.
