It is terrible envy because now they see that it is such a success and i have huge projects all over the world. Norway, Spain, Ecuador..
Today people welcome me like i am on a state visit. Often it is even embarrassing for me.
In Portugal i created a water landscape because there was so much damage because of fires.
In summer it is too dry there so there's drought. Therefore i built 3 lakes
Of course it is a certain satisfaction when you see that you can accomplish something now.
I was born here at the Krameterhof and grew up here as well.
This was my way to school. Of cource no paved road. It's been a very steep cart track.
It took me about an hour to reach school. And back home it took at least 2 hours. By foot.
About my parents, mother always supported us wherever possible and gave us a little bit of money or whatever was available, which was minimal.
And father was rather stricter.
But he also had very kind sides. We just always had to perform and do the neccessary work.
When he told me to do this or that, there was no messing around. It simply had to be done. I had to move, I had to work.
Those where harsh times. I have to admit that. It really took me to the limit.
This is Heike. She's always with me when i am at home. She's already excited when i arrive. Already half a day before i arrive the dog is nervous,
runs to the gate and is searching for me. But i am still in the plane at that moment.
And when i finally arrive ooohh then she jumps on me and is just so happy.
At the Krameterhof I live with my wife these days.
He simply needs that. He has to spread the word all over the world. I think that is his purpose and for that i just have to have an understanding.
My son already manages the farm. He's a farmer. And i do mostly lectures and consultations.Especially elsewhere.
Look this is here 6 to 8 meters altitude difference on that short distance. And then we can design the lake landscape from over here.
My father is very determined.
A very energetic and self confident man.
And he tries to assemble what makes sense to him.
And he doesn't let go on that easily.
Most things came into existence within my dreams. Therefore i have pad and pencil on my bed table. Since a biro often won't work when u need it.
And when i wake up i write down the few important lines. That is how things come into existence here, so to say.
This is a real power place. Here i dreamed about the hut and then i built it.
Right here on this place. Period. One has to have goals to reach them.
Otherwhise you run around aimlessly all the time.
Stinging nettle is a wonderful medical plant. One of the most important at all.
I eat it raw in larger amounts. Stinging nettle doesn't sting me.
It is just hypersensitivity of people living too distant from nature. Then they can't use the natural apothecary anymore. That's a problem.
It doesn't harm me at all, no matter what part i touch or eat. i don't feel any pain.
I think we don't have to wait longer. All our participants are here already.
Good morning.
The people comming here are all schooling participants. For our education programm. Since we have 2 years and 1 year workshops.
This time we have 28 participants.
They are doing the workshop called "workshop for holzer permaculture practician"
The path has to be clear. Those townsmen park their cars in the middle of the way and no one can get through anymore.
Because they are scared of the steep hills. So they'd prefer the midle of the street. But unfortunately that's not possible.
We don't accept tourists. We accept people in close touch with nature only. People looking for a way back to nature.
Put the grass extra because we have to close it exactly the way we opened it.
You have to put it away. Or it falls back in when you open.
You can clear out what's in your way.Or we won't be able to put the cap back on.
Now you didn't clean it properly, see that sh*t here...
Now put it onto the stones.
Ok, now look. Here you can see the spring. When there's a big spring it's not that tragic.
Then it is easier because when you lose a bit, it's not that tragic. But on a small spring with 2 liters per minute like this one here.
On a steep hill in the rock it's extremely difficult. One mistake and the spring is lost.
This way it is isolated. With this frame, the same way they already did it 100 years ago, a frame out of larch wood
A tapping of a spring like this lasts for generations.
What i have learned here is that all important thing which every schoolboy a hundred years ago knew, I don't know that at all.
That means i recognized that i don't know anything at all. And i think that is the quintessence of all this.
That this is a right and important way to implement and learn things like that here.
The mental enfeeblement, that non natural behaviour in life, is to blame for all the worldwide catastrophes.
Because a few earn a lot of money with those catastrophes
And as long as one can make money out of catastrophes, those catastrophes won't end. I am profoundly convinced of that
My god can be found everywhere.
I work with him, he's in every animal, in every plant, can be found everywhere.
Often very hidden in humans.
So you have to remind them.
Can you take responsibility for that? Did thinking make you do it this way?
But you have to speak out what you think and you get a good reward for doing so.
Rewarded by nature, that's how you gain energy and how you are safe. That's your mission, your purpose, your life.
First you have to be pleased with yourself. Then you can give others advice.
That's the way it is. And i have a lot of feedback. In fact so much that i can't even read it all. I could show you loads of those letters.
The whole world would be a paradise, if that symbiotic cultivation would be applied everywhere.
That should actually be taught at schools and universities.
