About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live fully, play deeply, and create beauty.

ABOUT ME

As of now, I am on a personal journey of self discovery, both of the inner and outer worlds. In the next year, I plan to travel all over N. Europe, India, and Africa... I'll be exploring my ancestral roots, attending an international activist Summit, participating in learning intensives, visiting holy places, and working on permaculture farms... Ask me about any of this if your interested. I'd love to share my experiences and resources...

I am a practicing permaculturist, and planning to continue my studies and application of knowledge in the months to come. (let me know if you or anyone you know would like a consultation for next to nothing. I'm really god at what I do.) I am also a practicing "culture crafter" and social visionary, always devising and implementing actions to enhance people's views on the world and consciousness patterns. I am also a certified counselor, putting my practice on hold as I explore...

Our world is in a time of great turmoil, but if you look closely we are also in a time of immense beauty, a renaissance of the soul... I am participating in the revival through ecstatic dancing, using my voice both in singing and spoken word, playing the little bit of guitar and harmonica that I can, engaging in meaningful conversation, telling the truth, loving fully, taking risks, standing up for what I know is right, having FUN, being silly, creating beauty, and all those other things that bring deep connection between people... : )

PHILOSOPHY

The new sciences (living systems theory, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, etc) and the old perennial philosophies are all telling us the same thing: we are immensely interconnected and interdependent!!! Yet, we are destroying our world like a cancerous growth?!?!? My vow in life is to live as deeply as I can into the underpinnings that Life is built on in order to help us out of the mess we're in, and into a new world, a new culture, a new sense of Self... I imbue my life with Play, Honesty, Intimacy, Connection, Truth, Flexibility, Cooperation, and a multitude of other attributes that you'll come across upon meeting me... : ) Viva la viva!!!
