I was born and raised in Northern Germany, and have lived in a variety of different countries. I believe that for my entire conscious life, I have been on a path for positive change. I regard this as a red thread going through my life; to create positive change wherever I reside or work, as well as within myself. 

​

This happens on many levels, f. ex.  in the daily presence of another human being or an animal, and in larger associations where a renewal can take place. Simplicity and honesty are two pillars I would like to integrate with all my actions. For me, life is a big river, and I try to keep myself in movement without losing foothold. As David W. Orr said I wish to: "[…] teach the things that one might imagine the earth would teach us: silence, humility, holiness, connectedness, courtesy, beauty, celebration, giving, restoration, obligation, and wildness.“ 

 Erik passed away on September 10th 2020, after a longer periode of sickness. It was his wish to be on the farm to his very end and that led into a beautiful process of family and friend supporting care and goodbye. On September 18th the funeral took place at Kregme Church. Erik is busy helping the earth from the other side.
