· Studied biology and ecology and worked more than 10 years as fabric artist.
· She studied at the University of Utrecht (RUU) and Groningen (RUG) and obtained in 1980 her MO-Biology (qualification to teach biology).
Since 2003 she is fully dedicated to contribute to a worldwide transformation and the creation of a world in which everything and everyone can live in harmony with all and everything. Because the way we teach and educate - together with the way we raise our children - plays a key role here, her focus was first mainly on the transformation of learning and educations, so it will be more in line with who we and our children in essence are. As a first step she wrote The Whole Elephant Revealed which was published in Dutch in 2007 and of which already 10.000 copies are sold. Since the publication of her book she is an often asked for speaker and is invited by many different organizations to give a presentation (see calendar).
She made illustrations for several magazines and books and was active in the field of Nature- and Environmental Education, and the environmental-, peace- and feminist-movement. She developed her intuitive communication with nature and her insights in the non-physical reality based on far-reaching personal direct experiences as well as based on courses by CICO in Utrecht and trainings based on native American traditions. In 2003 she decided to fully dedicate herself to new ways of learning and education and to contribute to a worldwide transformation and the creation of a world in which everything and everyone can live in harmony with all and everything. Because the way we teach and educate - together with the way we raise our children - plays a key role here, her focus was first mainly on the transformation of learning and education. She is looking for new forms of learning and education better suited to present-day children and more in tune with the needs of this day and age and giving children the opportunity to develop their full potential. In other words she is searching for a form of learning that corresponded more closely to who we in essence are and that is also more in harmony with the world around us.

After the completion of his M Tech at IITK, he joined at HBTI. He continued with his search for answers relating to problems in self and in society which began when he was in second year of his B.Tech. He took to Vipassana as a rigorous process of self-exploration alongwith participating in social movements of the time. He went to work with the farmers in western UP where he was one of the founder-leaders of the great Kisaan Movement of the mid 1980s. The movement was for better prices for farm produce, particularly sugarcane. The movement succeeded in getting better prices, beyond expectation. However, with it also grew the evils of dowry, alcoholism, illicit arms, and unprecedented crime. With his friends, Ganesh Bagaria tried to institute social reform, to little avail. He then realized that without the preparation of "man" not much can be done. With this in mind, he joined the experiment in education at Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya as a faculty member and worked for two years but no clear answers emerged.
In 1995, he came in contact with Madhyastha Darshan, and decided to study it seriously. In it, he found the answers he was seeking for problems in self and in society. Madhyastha Darshan brings about the innate harmony in existence and clarifies that man by understanding this harmony is able to be in harmony within himself and with others in society and rest of nature. This in turn leads to humane conduct, education, constitution and order in the society. He has been conveying the idea behind it through 7-day long workshops, popularly known as Jeevan Vidya Shivirs, for all sections of the society- farmers of Bundelkhand, adivasis of Jhabua, prisoners in Bilaspur jail, industrialists, academicians and engineering students, for the past ten years. People who have gone through the shivirs have been profoundly affected in their personal life as well as in their work and behaviour.
He has also been experimenting with low-input farming, where the farm requires very little or no input from outside, other than nature and human labour. For the work carried out by him as a teacher, social activist and thinker, the second Satyendra K Dubey Memorial Award is awarded to Professor Ganesh P. Bagaria for his contributions to humanistic and value based education.
