CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I want to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm down to earth, compassionate, passionate and authentic. I love stimulating conversation as well as peaceful downtime. I'm spiritual and socially conscious, open-minded and creative. I adore being outdoors, connecting with the earth, animals and elements. I love life!

PHILOSOPHY

"Hearts cannot process anger, coldness and lack of empathy on a regular basis. A heart is put in your body to process love. Listen to your heart and let it overide your logic and rationale because logic and rational shrinks your heart. Stay intouch with your heart. Your feelings and compassion. Compassion will keep you living in your heart. Discover your purpose and LIVE IT OUT!. Everyone has a reason for being here, discover it and do it." Karen Rose

"Remember this, another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." ~Arundhati Roy

"How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all its beauty? It felt the encouragement of light against its being . . . " ~ Hafiz

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning and sharing about traditional/indigenous spirituality, foodways, music and community building. I'd love to learn more about permaculture, sustainable building and living. I'd love to keep building my culinary artistry! I want to learn as many languages as I can (I'm fluent in English & Spanish). I can share my experiences in the realm of food justice, food systems & policy change (mostly US context), as well as sacred dance, intentional community building, tarot and ritual making.
