Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To dive into the mystery with eyes, heart, and intuition open.
ABOUT ME
I am kind, service oriented, and I LOVE...the hearth, making fires, warm hugs, rain under feet, the sunset over mountains or the ocean, those moments when you can feel the earth spinning for a moment, climbing trees, ponerosa pines, deep satisfaction of knowing you gave all you could, feeling connected, herbalism, folk/the peoples/kitchen/grandmother medicine, neo-homesteading, learning, finding beauty, remembering my humanity, sun on shoulders, DANCING,
PHILOSOPHY
I suppose I live my life because I came into this body with a commitment to remember my mission. I think kindness, joy, genuinity, rewilding and reclaiming ones sense-u-all nature is our birthright. I have so much gratitude for the mystery and the unseen world
