I'm currently traveling through India for quite a while with the intention of visiting other communities, Ecovillages, sustainable projects, ashrams and whatever else I may be drawn towards over the trip.
Back at home I usually spend the week with a mix of interests, work and passions which often crossover nicely - I work with an organisation that hosts courses around sustainable living & building capacities (permaculture, facilitation, co-housing), I've been training in martial arts for 7 years now and co-teach our local classes (from 5 year olds to adults), will begin to work in schools teaching mindfulness when back from the India adventure and as a passion, I deliver lucid dreaming workshops which will soon be growing into a larger direction of "work".
Other interests are parkour, Non-violent Communication, art & adventure... which now brings me to India!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

India is my next adventure and I'd love to be able to experience that between a mix of staying in communities & projects, but also have the opportunity to meet others living there. - Obviously meet new, welcoming people, but also to understand local culture in a different way ..and be introduced to the area through something with the more human-edge on the "lonely planet"!

I've been living in Cloughjordan Ecovillage, Ireland, for the last 10 years and have plans to stay for the foresee-able future. There's a co-housing project at home I'm part of, which will be my way of continuing to live in the ecovillage - once I'm there I'd love to host others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted Lucid Dream sleepovers!

Teach, Learn, Share

Keen to learn more cooking and other practical skills like crafting, more woodwork, knitting etc. - very open.
Very interested to learn natural treatments, massage, inner work...
And would love to learn more parkour & martial arts of course!
Happy to share & teach any of my interests

What I Can Share with Hosts

An honest portrayal of community life in my own experience! Introductions to lucid dreaming, spoon whittling, nonviolent communication, martial arts, help in any green building/DIY jobs/ housework etc (would love to contribute in some way).
Playful games for groups of adults/ children - although I don't formally practice it, I'm a certified laughter yoga teacher so love to laugh and play
Can also share some harmony singing if you'd like to join in or if there's a group who would like to sing
