About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to sing, connect with the Earth, dance, cook, meet new people & spend time with friends & family, write, teach, travel, explore new places + cultures, read, meditate, hike in the forest, natural remedies, crystals & gardening. I'm a trained primary school teacher. ॐ ♪♪♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♪♪♪ ॐ

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life simply ~ conscious of the interconnectedness of all things, knowing that my choices have an effect on the planet & every other being. I believe that we are all one & there is no escaping this reality. All hurt & joy in the world is felt on some level by all. If we could each develop & contribute our personal gifts, love one another, release our need to be right & seperate from eachother...the world would be a better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*One of my favourite experiences was a long camel safari through the Great Thar Desert in Rajasthan. I loved the wide open starry sky, the simplicity of the desert & the friendships made along the way. *Another amazing moment that comes to mind was canyoning in Queenstown ~ jumping into waterfalls, diving head first (with a helmet on!) down fast flowing streams and jumping onto flying foxes!*Participating in a 10 day Vipassana course in Pomona, QLD this year.
