About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carry on joyfully through life in one piece

ABOUT ME

Born with a double culture - Franco and American - I've been living in France for the past 22 years. I've danced most of my life and would say that my love of movement and body knowledge is a great part of my sensitivity. An attentive and kind person I would modestly say, genuine and straight forward, ecologically, socially and politically minded, much of my efforts go towards nourishing links and making bridges. For example between agriculture and art - at least in my own life. My current project : after making and providing for a new family member, Lily (terribly 2), creating a forest garden to produce delicious fruit and veg, wood and biodiversity. The fruit will mainly turn into ice cream (my partner Sylvain makes ice cream ...yummy!).

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

Music, Movies, and Books

I am definitely a mellowwoman, always keen to hear new tunes that set my cells in sway and my emotions in soar. From folk to classic, pop to african, cumbia to ragas : ex - Nick Drake, Bach, Konono nb 1, the Velvet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to choose just one. I'm grateful to have such a lucky life that allows me to travel and be surrounded by great people. I live in an amazing place where the rivers are clear and blue to swim in and the air is fresh, the hills full of fruit, mushrooms and lavender.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some dance moves, drawing techniques, knowledge about ecosystems and plants, the few language skills I have, simple veg cooking. I like to learn about languages, hand crafts, more about plants and human's use of them...
