Herman is a facillitator with Stroomversnellers, and is doing a small research project into (christian) intentional communities in the Netherlands.
Herman has spent the last ten years in various intentional communities. Most of them combined activism with some kind of volunteer-work, like providing rooms for people without papers, organic gardening, running a thrift store, visiting prisoners or feeding people on the street. The last four years Herman lived in Jeannette Noëlhuis, a christian anarchist community in Amsterdam, while planning the Dorothy-comunity, a similar place right outside of Amsterdam. This new community just got started a few months ago, with great plans, but a roof that still leaks sometimes. Besides this Herman is a facillitator with Stroomversnellers, and is doing a small research project into (christian) intentional communities in the Netherlands.
