ABOUT HAMADRYAD
Hamadryad was founded in 2009 by Carl Rymenams as a project that would, in time, proove that living in harmony with nature is actually possible! About a year after, his girlfriend, Nele De Blieck, joined up and eversince both of them are working side by side to find alternative sollutions to prevent environmental problems caused by daily domestic live.
Let us introduce ourselfs…
First of all my name is Carl, but some of you might know me as “Wolf”.
As long as… well.. as long as I can remember I always loved to spend time in nature. I loved hiking in the mountains as a kid with my parents and brother and now with friends, girlfriend or alone…
During Highschool I picked up on some survival books that really cought my interest. I asked myself questions like “How can I purfiy water?” or ” How can I find food and medicins in nature?” and so on…
I’m only a novice in survival and my knowledge of nature is very limited, but I believe strongly that gaining as much knowledge of natural processes, animals and plants is necessary to understand how we can consciously live (“survive”) on our blue planet without destroying it.
I wasn’t always conscious about this fragile, vulnerable earth beneath our feet. We have only walked upon it as humans for such a short period and yet we have left an almost indelible footprint.. destroying all natural balance.
It was only a few years ago I started asking myself some basic questions: Where does the warm, “drinkable” water of my tap actually comes from? How was life without radios, pc’s, internet, cars,… ? Am I conscious about the impact of all this on myself and on nature? Sadly enough I had to conclude that most of the time I had been living in the womb of society, feeded and nursed by everything around me.. “protected”. This state of numbness, I lived in for years, I due to an alienation of everything that surrounded me in all of my daily activities (my studies, job, my lifestyle, general materialism and consumption,…). There is no one to blame though but myself.
The main question that kept my mind busy was: “How can I change all this for myself?”
How can I step out of this “safe state of living” and live more conscious with nature and society surrounding me? Well, there is only one way to find out: Just do it!
This site is just for sharing our little adventure with people who share the same interest in Nature, natural building methods and a natural lifestyle.
Our goal is to build a model-house that integrates all kinds of low-impact technologies and serves as an example to other people who think likewise. We would also like to convince local authorities to allow alternative building methods and even promote low-impact living as this kind of living could help saving our environment!
