Staying in Sedona for the next three months to learn carving underneath my spiritual teacher Matua Louis Tekouorehua Kereopa, a Maori (Indigenous new Zealander) and Waitaha (Ancient International Nation) grandfather looking to commune with Native American brothers and sisters here and on our journey up to Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find a place(s) for me and matua to sleep as we make connections and live off of nutrition/hunger fulfilling raw vegan meal powder in the day until I get a job (of which I'm constantly applying for/handing resumes over) and can support the both of us.

Interests

My divine spark says "highest virtue" which is the most authentic and long lasting pleasure.
My ego says "highest fleeting pleasure."
The two battle and my authenticity fluctuates as with all unenlightened humans.
But the real me, which sees these false extremes, has the idealist goal of 100% yieldedness to the divine spark. So at the end of the day all of my interests, just like everyone else's, whether they know it or not, is enlightenment.

• culture
• writing
• education
• vegan

Music, Movies, and Books

The more melanated and ancient the music the better.

Lucy is the epitome of my philosophy.

I'll say the bible for my family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Come into an inseminated egg and a woman's vagina to incite a serious of chain reaction cause and effect events leading me up to this moment in time where I am writing this to you now.

Teach, Learn, Share

Look at the above.

In the fullest sense.

My above words.

All above writings by self and others co-authoring your life story, in other words, experiences.

And then look to "The Above" Heaven.

That which is describable is not the tao.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Any type of manual/gardening/housekeeping/childcare/skeletomuscular misalignment treatment/massage/the worlds most enthusiastic pep talk/the most tear jerking conversations from my teacher Matua/an extensive education on a most glorious indigenous culture who preserved there ways the most in the face of post colonial modernization/potentially a commission piece of maori artwork (carving on any medium/flat paper canvas pieces/ta moko or tattoo designs) and anything else you could ask that I could concieve a degree of capability in.
