One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Night diving in San Diego with the magical grandson of a Brazilian shaman. A little wild octopus that changed colors and patterns as I approached; felt like she was speaking to me in her foreign language!

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to discuss insight meditation for enlightenment at the moment! :) Also would love to hear about any climate solutions... would love to talk about anything that you're passionate about!
