In Memoriam – Huub Kortekaas, co-creator of our symbol
We are sad: Huub Kortekaas has passed away. Together with his wife Adelheid, he designed the symbol of our incipient pilgrimage tradition. How we will miss his amiable personality… His relentless quest to inspire people to connect with the universal creative power of nature and the cosmos… We wish his other half Adelheid a lot of strength with this loss!!

More about the symbol of Huub and Adelheid Kortekaas
In 2011, as pioneers of the Walk of Wisdom , Manja and I visited Huub and Adelheid Kortekaas in their studio de Tempelhof in Winssen. Would they like to help us with a symbol for the Walk of Wisdom? We didn’t need many words. The design was already ready…
Their symbol Pilgrim became, alongside our pilgrim’s shoelace, one of the distinctive symbols of our young pilgrimage tradition. It depicts man as a seedling of Mother Earth.
With a simple and at the same time profound message: if you develop yourself from within, you also make the bigger picture bloom. Huub and Adelheid encourage everyone to have the freedom to find their own forms, together with the responsibility to take good care of the habitat from which we all come: the world.
