We are mourning the loss of Friederike, my love & wife, the mother of our two wonderful daughters. Rike was full of life force, courage, creativity and joy until she started suffering from severe depression earlier this year. At the end, she was unable to hold on to life.
Rike's spiritual happy place was theLive Power Farm in Covelo, California, where she made very happy memories together with her children and their classmates. The Live Power Farm is a solar electric and horse-powered, diversified, certified biodynamic farm. They grow vegetables, herbs, home orchard fruits and field crops for hay, grain, and pasture. Animal husbandry includes draft horses, dairy and beef cows, feeder pigs, sheep, and laying hens. They have plans to build a new community building that will provide visiting classes a place for teaching, to sleep and cook. Rike would have been very happy to see this finally become reality.
