CURRENT MISSION

Living life to the max, with ease, eagerness and elegance

ABOUT ME

I'm an art therapist/counsellor/meditation teacher by profession. Communication and compassionate listening has been my job for years.
However this last summer I turned 50 and decided to take a break and see what else I would like to do with my life. I started with a Vipassana retreat followed by a long long walk. During that break I realised I wanted to spend time on my biggest hobby: drawing, illustration and painting. So now I am writing a childrens book and doing the illustrations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far none, I applied once but got no reply, I hope it is down to the short term notice I gave..

Interests

Personal development, spirituality, silence and spending time in nature are of interest to me. Also I love reading. Meditation and walking are very important to me. Drawing, painting and writing have always been part of my pass times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was awestruck when I met Amma
I was awestruck when I was walking Offa's Dyke Path
I am awestruck by any miraculous synchronicity that occurs which tells me we are part of something so big, the eye cannot perceive it.
