About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, learn, learn,share, enoy, participate in al sorts of revelry, dance and contribute what I can!

ABOUT ME

I used to live with a dear friend and her 3 ancient dogs between Tamarama beach and Bondi beach. Our house faces the east and the sunrise is spectacular.
Ive been told I've got a good eye, and that's true, although strike me down if I dont miss some of the most obvious things sometimes. That's it, Im a contradiction, absolutely brilliant one minute and an absolute ditz the next.
Foooood glorious foooood, mmmm dreaming of culinary delights. I eat just about everything and well,
Thirst for knowledge is a constant.
A good belly laugh is the ultimate.
Desire to dance ever present.
Jack of all trades master of none.
My journey has taken me to South Africa, then to share a white christmas with my fam in the Czech republic!!

PHILOSOPHY

Play, dance, eat, love!!!!!!
There are alot of peops on this planet, so if you are fortunate and have plenty, then share, contribute etc, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bit of an eclectic chick in the music department, as variety is the spice of life. To relax, chillout, anything from traditional Indian, old school soul, jazz to reggea to Dub. To dance, dirty funk, drum and base to some serious trance. Actually anything with seriously fat beats! I just really love good music. Mainstream pop should be banned as crime against humanity! Sci-fi in both books and movies. More than Human, book and Bladerunner film, total favorites. Bit of a bookworm. Henry Miller made an impact, so did Terence Mckenna, also anything on human behaviour, consciousness etc. Luv Black Spring, Politics of Experience, Geek Love, Shantaram, Rama Series, Man of two Worlds, More Than Human, The Rise And Fall Of The Third Chimpanzee, The Selfish Gene, You Dont Have to Fuck People Over To Survive, Lots of Childrens Books

Teach, Learn, Share

Transpersonal Art Therapy focuses on learning to know the truest self that you are ready and willing to explore. The therapist gives you the guidance to find your tools to deal with situations that are difficult or traumatic, to celebrate phases of your life through ritual, to explore. My mission is to develop and share those skills. Im wanting to learn other creative therapies, and contribute those skills to the human community that is most affected by trauma. I want to meet like minded souls who have a passion to contribute and create.
I can share my facepainting skills, as its an absolutely delightful experience and I turn you into a magical creature.
