We are humbled to have this opportunity to be in service. In the mystery of spirit we have joined in a sacred cause. Rudolf Steiner indicated that the lack of uptake of evolutionary ideas was caused by lack of NUTRITION. We’re here to nourish mind, body and soul! In case you’re curious to know the humans devoted to this legacy project … here are our bios :
Michael Frantz
Michael studied at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington USA, where he did a Biodynamic apprenticeship. He completed a 2 year intensive in Anthroposophy and Waldorf Education at the Rudolf Steiner College in California. He also studied Comparative Mythology and Goethean Science at West Michigan University, completing in 1987. He was quickly co-opted as an Anthroposophical Librarian, and this he has been ever since. 8
With 50 years of private research absorbed into his etheric body, he now lives in Titirangi, Auckland NZ, in his own library. When we establish CIELLO he will live there, truly in Heaven.
Kiri Ko
I am a mother, artist and yogini, as well as a student of Politics (University of Melbourne 1994) and Anthroposophy (Taruna College 2012). I found Knowledge of the Higher Worlds at 24 in a street market. This initiated a 25 year journey thru biodynamic gardening, Waldorf homeschooling, and deep Anthroposophical study.
I live life answering the call of how to live an enlightened life.
In 2020, spirit guided me to purchase this beautiful property on the Coromandel for community.
The magnum opus of Anthroposophy answers the questions of evolutionary living so eloquently, I’m determined to dedicate this land to living these answers, for humanity.
Ps… 0.2% of women fall into the profile INTJ. I am one of them; an architect of Sophia’s return.

When entering into any collective project, the most important element that is required for our mutual interests to thrive and grow is trust.
So what do I know about trust… well I know quite a lot as it forms the very core reason why I left the big shot corporate lifestyle as a software company director and went back to my dairy farming roots in the Waikato. When I returned home I learnt that the lifestyle that I grew up within is not all just cows and grass, it’s about having a deep seated sense of trust.
This is applicable for all organised entities which operate with integrity and serve the community which supports them. My parents taught me that the most important relationship on a farm is the one with yourself, and then how that shows up with everyone involved in the project.
By now you may well have figured out that I am someone who looks at everything outside the square. I like to think deeply about what really matters and the one thing I know for sure, is that I am dedicated to developing this property into a biodynamic farm – for the present and future health of the community.
