CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to share my story through writing, the performing arts, and lively conversations.

ABOUT ME

I am a woman of mixed heritage, a sacred dancer, writer, author, self-taught artist, transpersonal psychologist by degree, and a devoted student of transpersonal studies; passionate about the exploration of origin, identity, and purpose through dreams, and finding creative ways to express those themes through the arts.

My current focus is to share what I've learned through my dream research, and publish and produce this material as a way to assist others with exploring an alternative and creative way to engage the realm of dreams for personal development, guidance, and the process of evolution.

PHILOSOPHY

For all things Tangible, there is an Intangible counterpart; for you cannot have the Tangible without the Intangible.

Every Soul is connected to a Star and return to it once their assigned mission [life] is completed.

Life is the honoring of one’s Existence, for we are born twice – once into Existence and then into a Life.

Everyone was created for a specific reason – life’s journey should be dedicated to honoring that. It’s not a matter of who’s better than who, but a matter of embodiment…each part is necessary to the whole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Connecting some of my dreams to scholarly research to corroborate information, and shed light on the antiqued past of humanity.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach & Share: developing a dream work practice; dream interpretation; Dance technique in American Tribal Fusion Bellydance, cultivating authentic expression without censorship or judgment, expressive arts as a guide for cultivating creativity.

Learn: I'm a sponge for knowledge. Anything that is new, innovative, ancient and creative is game. *Convention and conformity are of NO interest.
