Johannes Steuck was born of German, war-impacted parents in Stockholm in 1956. His early years were spent in Hanover in northern Germany. Age six, the family emigrated to England, where he grew up in a Camphill community in Thornbury near Bristol and was educated at Wynstones Steiner School.

Between 1974 and 1978 Johannes went to Art College taking a degree in sculpture at Winchester College of Art and Design. He travelled extensively in Europe, the Middle East, America and India. In India he came into contact with Sufism.

Johannes has had a multifaceted career, as an organic gardener, stained-glass artist, sculptor and writer. He has taught humanities and art and worked with special needs adults over the years.

Johannes is married with three children and lives in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
