Last year, this documentary was shown in the Omniversum in The Hague. Did you miss it? Another chance is coming up in Driebergen-Rijsenburg.
Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices will come together in a meaningful dialogue – Myra Collis,Jan van de Venis, Semuel Sahureka, Jessica den Outer, Patricia Pattinama, and Her Royal Highness Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld of the Netherlands. 🦋
This kind of conversation is an opportunity not only to understand our differences, but even more so to recognize our shared humanity, learn from one another, and find common ground in a world that urgently needs to reconnect with wisdom, community, and nature.🙏
We get to explore:
🌿 What does it mean to be Indigenous in the Netherlands? 🌿 How can we reconnect with global Indigenous wisdom and our respective ancestral values? 🌿 What can we learn from Indigenous ways of knowing? 🌿 Why is this more important now than ever?
The evening will begin with a foreword by Jelle de Jong (Director of WWF-NL), followed by a film screening of KIVA: The Call of the Wisdom Keepers by filmmaker Marijke Kodden and a Water Ceremony led by Patricia Pattinama.

About an hour’s drive from The Hague, nestled in West Friesland, is the Little Dutch Farm. A traditional Dutch ‘Stolp’ farmhouse welcomes you, built in 1901. The surrounding landscape is postcard-perfect, with a dike lined by towering trees, vast meadows stretching into the distance, and fields dotted with cows, tulips, and windmills. Even for locals, this setting captures the essence of the Dutch countryside.
On the farm, a small meadow and stables house four horses, while an orchard brims with fruit trees. A vegetable garden flourishes nearby, and a pond, teeming with water lilies, ducks, and frogs, adds to the serene atmosphere, accompanied by a constant chorus of birds. Two farm cats, Miss and Tommie, share the space with a Bernese Mountain Dog named Balou. Soon, the farm will welcome a small flock of chickens and a drove of pigs.
With a vision of living more sustainably, they are working toward taking the farm off the grid. This journey is a return to a simpler, more intentional way of life—one that values home-grown food, community, and a deep connection with nature. This slower pace is both healing and grounding, echoing the Dutch concept of boeren verstand, or farmer’s wisdom.
