About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Deeply root, remove veils, open heart, land based learning, food as medicine, world wide community network, respect nature

ABOUT ME

I am another you, I am a student, a teacher, a listener, a soul, a conscious developing entity, choosing to accept my natural limitlessness and to not cage it into any sub-category that says I am separate from the whole.

I am a mirror and l honor with authenticity

I am striving to apply compassion and become timeless so I can give every person "the time" they deserve

I want to achieve art in being, in breathing and feeling. I walk in balance and feel grounded in my everyday.

Feeling grateful to express my fullest vitality and potency

Love flows as acceptance of the miracle

I believe in magic, in following my inner rhythm, in dream awake, in authenticity and in seeing the signs life gives us to realise our full magnificence.

I believe that I/we have all the tools to become more aware and kind, and are empowering ourselves further to be the changes we want to see in the world.

I treat my body with respect, in full dynamic balance, my mind open and my heart cherishing gorgeous encounters and growing friendhsips

I love life

I love that everything is possible and all it takes is making the right choices

I love LOVE

I trust deeply

Empowerment

I am more connected to the Wild side

I believe this is the single most amazing moment there has ever been and more good is coming...

I am HAPPY, grateful, lucky, vibrant, healthy and alive!!

INLAKESH!!

PHILOSOPHY

Love everybody as we love ourselves

Be impeccable with your words (they create your reality)

Don't take anything personally

Don't assume anything

Do your best!
