The Spiritual Wisdom of Plants: Jan Mouws on Nature, Rudolf Steiner & Cosmic Balance
What if plants are more than just living organisms—and nature holds a deeper wisdom that humanity has yet to understand?
In this fascinating conversation, host Marlis Dekkers speaks with nursery owner Jan Mouws about the spiritual connection between humanity and the plant kingdom, the hidden intelligence of nature, and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world.
Jan shares how moving away from conventional chemical farming toward a more intuitive approach transformed his nursery and inspired him to cultivate unique nature plants designed to support individual human beings. Drawing inspiration from Rudolf Steiner and Viktor Schauberger, he explores the possibility that natural phenomena, including plant pests, may reveal deeper imbalances rather than simply being problems to eliminate with chemicals.
The conversation also explores the transformative experience of walking a Maria labyrinth inspired by the design of Chartres Cathedral, revealing new perspectives on personal growth, spirituality, and our relationship with the Earth.
