As a lawyer and mediator she puts up at present an own practice, Esajas Human & Legal affairs, with as specialism conflict conciliation without involvement of the judge. With her partner Arjen Nijeboer she has a son, Christian (2002). Is particularly interested in esoteric Christianity, karma and reincarnation, and nature beings.
Social artist, Graduated in bioldynamic agriculture and activity accompaniment. Worked from his 21st as a byodynamic farmer and curative pedagogue, within several communities in inland and foreign country and started in 1999 foundation, ‘De Walnoot’ (‘the rampart note’) with a therapeutic community (gardening/landscape park) where he tried out among other things the development of organic forms on people and plant growth. As a co-worker of Jaspis he conducts projects in rythmically forging and accompanies the open work shop Peredur. Elbert is a singer and mover within music theatre group Laukar Unja, and governing board member of Fjodor. Since May 2003 he is also founder and governing board member of the centre for culture renewal (CVC) in Almen. An initiative which is closely involved in Fjodor. His interests lie particularly in social and artistic processes in people who deal with nature, initiation by artistically and han craft work such as to gardening, to forging, wood carve and sculpturing. An important place all this has the organic design. According to Elbert there still are many application possibilities which lie still in it which must be examined. His own life experiences form for this an important inspiration source. Because of a bad preparation of humanity to reopening of the spiritual world (since 1900) as a result of which many people have come in serious mental need, he sees the need to create islands of rest, harmony and curing. For this reason his work has a strong relation with care. Social organic forms, created in love for everything, contribute strongly to a total healing process and worthy development, friendly to humans, within our current culture. Each human is unique and can contribute to this.
Graduated in Dutch right at the Erasmus university. After a heavy car accident on his 23st year he met anthroposophy, which could give him the answers for his desire to be able teo see the life from a comprehensive approach. As a profession he has been occupied with the import and export of biological and bio-dynamical products, and next has become his own boss (at present a Norwegian pullover selling business). Is busy with coaching to get started professionally. His main focus lies with working with people on the earth (landscape work and economy), history (evolution and future) and music (singing and dancing in music theatre group Laukar Unja). Phenomenological astronomy plays a central role of inspiration. Searches for a fertile assessment in the necessary cooperation between the west (VS) and Europe (fluently English and German are thereby helpful). Has co-started the magasin Bruisvat (publisher, sale, production).
After his study in biology (B.D. degree 1980) and a number of spiritual experiences has applied himself to phenomenological research in the life processes in people and nature. By means of astrology and anthroposophy he has developed his own form of astrosophy, e.g. star wisdom, with which he can indicate from the horoscope the human bodies, soul qualities and the main lines of his karma. Also he has distilled musical laws that can make resound the horoscope, through which arise possibilities for inner research in people and nature. This he calls astrophony. By means of moulding he has developed methods for lifting to the consciousness that which lives within people and nature as willing germs. This he calls astrognomy, while it deals with the workings of the stars and planets which are actively forming in the life world upon the earth. One of the elaborations of this is landscape healing by means of the elemental beings. He writes down his findings in music theatre plays, in rituals, in articles and in theoretical essays (published by Rune books, in the magasin Bruisvat, and some foreign illustrated magazines). He develops sculptuers and musical instruments on the basis of the star workings (in the Rune workshop). He gives schooling courses (Jaspis) on the inspirative and intuitive levels in the Netherlands and abroad. Moreover he leads the music theatre group LaukaR Unja.
After training on academy ‘de Wervel’, I worked for a long time as artistic therapeut in a doctor’s practice. Around my 60th I found a new pulse in the education method of Coenraad Van Houten. He starts with it that the seven life processes are a total of process possibilities and can be used everywhere where there is absorption, transformation and renewal. In my artistic work this comes down to perception, acquisition and proving. In 1997, I have opened the house chamber work shop ‘De Wende’ (the change) opened and accompany people artistically and therapeutically with the benefit of this method. The education material is destiny, or the karma itself, the destiny events, situations and the psuchic constitutie which are of a very individual nature. This manner of work puts people in a therapeutic manner to selfresearch and gives possibilities of arranging the karma, through which biographical motives can become visible and elaborated. Since 2000 I have taken part regularly in the schoolings courses of Nicolaas de Jong. That gives me new possibilities of accompanying the artistic-therapeutic process with his clay modelling methods. With working in the life world, together with Nicolaas de Jong, it has become more clear to me that there is a world of elemental beings that waits eargerly for release and cooperation with people. My commitment is, beside my artistic-therapeutic work, especially aimed to this. For some years I have been member of the governing board of the Fjodor Foundation and have put myself to help to attain the objectives of this foundation.
