Life
Jelle van der Meulen was born in November 1950 in the Netherlands as the son of a trade union official. As a teenager he took every opportunity to study anthroposophical works. He is the father of four children. For twelve years he worked for the Dutch anthroposophical journal Jonas , most recently as editor-in-chief. He also worked as a lecturer, publicist and editor for the Dutch Rudolf Steiner Edition. At the same time, Jelle van der Meulen was also editor-in-chief of the Dutch magazine for members of the General Anthroposophical Society Motief .
Van der Meulen published the posthumous book On the Salvation of the Soul by Bernard Lievegoed . Van der Meulen held lectures on her for a number of years, starting on the Greek island of Santorini . (A translation of the original lectures on the island of Santorini into High German was carried out by Wolfgang Garvelmann ; however, these lectures are not available in bookshops). From this and related activities, the Elias Initiativgemeinschaft eV, Flensburg, a co-founder of Jelle van der Meulen, grew .
This was followed by social work in the slums of Lima / Peru . There Jelle van der Meulen became an employee of the Aynimundo initiative . He has lived in Cologne as a journalist and freelance consultant since 2000 . There he was (together with Michael Schmock ) a co-founder of the company for anthroposophy and is currently lecturer and director of the Waldorf educator seminar in Cologne.
