One Amazing Thing I've Done
Sunrise walk with Baba Amte in Anandwan (Forest of Joy), Maharashtra, India (2002). From 4 AM onwards he told me his life story: how he helped leprous people build a city for themselves! "Work builds, charity destroys".
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to make sourdough bread and how to ferment vegetables for a healthy gut (it is simple!). Passionate about regenerative agriculture and good food.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A thought-provoking conversation. A listening ear. Freshly baked sourdough bread that doesn't taste sour. A simple technique for meditation.
