Yasha's travels took her to India and Israel as well as to be involved
in many years of working within the Dutch mental healthcare system, as
well as caring for the homeless and addicts, which merely reinforced her
opinions.
Her sons (1983 and 1990) both followed primary education at the Waldorf
School (Anthroposophical educational method developed by Rudolf Steiner)
so it's sure that Mother Earth played a big role in their formation.
Yasha participated very regularly in all occurring activities at their
school in those years, learning a lot about biological and
environmentally sound lifestyles during this period.
When Yasha was rejected
for work years later, she decided that she was too young to do nothing
and picked up all her courage and for the first time in her life she
started out on her own. She turned her hobby, the development and
promoting of websites on Ibiza, into her work and registered her
one-woman business - Svaya Webbings and IBIZA 4 ALL, a small, personal
hosting and ranking company, with a focus on IBIZA. In order to live a
healthy life, we must take personal responsibility for preserving the
welfare and the beauty of our planet. (The servers for Yasha's business
are 90% powered by green energy, as is usual nowadays in the Netherlands
Always happy to come to the island , to relax and enjoy nature, Yasha
prefers eating 'home grown'. Respect for the beauty of nature,
the wonderful sea, the authenticity of the people, is the message Ibiza
brings for her - to respect life.
Ibiza is a fantastic beautiful island with a complex ecosystem. Each
summer it is flooded by millions of tourists who probably never ask:
where the water comes from, or why they should separate their waste, why
they should not throw glass bottles from the party boats, or why they
should not throw cigarette butts out of their car windows?
Meanwhile in the Netherlands, with many global academic studies as in
many other developed countries, Yasha is convinced that the benefits of
producing unsprayed food, organic meat & vegetables, coupled with a
strong ecologically sound existence, including reducing CO2 emissions
and oil consumption, are the only ways to secure the future for our
world and for our children.
Ibiza is a 'trend-setting island', visited by many people from all over
the world, Yasha considers it as the perfect place to do her bit for the
Global Transition initiative.
So, together with Peter her partner, she is presently responsible for
the development and maintenance of the Ibiza transition island websites:
www.ibiza-transition-island.com and
www.ibiza-isla-transicion.com.
