With her hands equally gently caressing the ground of our Mother, she focuses her gaze of wonder on everything that sprouts and crawls, that flies and flutters, that whirls and wanders. She is devoted to singing for the winding streams, to blooming for the bees, to bathing in the morning light, to the purring, barking, and growling of many furry friends of life. A woman for whom silence is always close, speaks loudest in her loving presence for all that lives and grows.
“I am touching a few leaves.
I am noticing the way the yellow butterflies
move together, in a twinkling cloud, over the field.”
— Mary Oliver (From the Book of Time)
In the many colored mandalas in which she conjures up her edible paintings, she pays tribute to the deep wisdom of all plant teachers and all animal children and dreams of a harmonious relationship in which humans will live together with nature again. Where Sven feels a deep calling to be with the human children, Nina feels a deep calling to direct her love and reverence to the many plant and animal children of the world.
After years of creating her own vegan restaurant, bookstore, and spiritual meeting place 'Wildgroei' in Delft, the Netherlands, she decided to dedicate her life to further developing her relationship with the natural world.
Some of her own beautiful recipes are available via the 'Heartspace'
