CURRENT MISSION

Should I stay or should I go now?

ABOUT ME

Oh geez...ALL about me? Sensitive, quirky, serious, goofy. I love when things are organized (that's the German in me). I love gardens and trees and running water...oh yeah, and the sun. I am nourished by nature. I mostly love to feel inspired. I most often feel inspired by music, by dancing and using my voice, and by connecting deeply with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice compassion. Risk what you think you need. Create your most passionate dreams.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf people's couches, or spare beds, and I share with them in whatever way feels inspired by the comingling of our particular spirits. I have yet to host anyone as I am new to CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing connection in Berkeley...a chance run-in with a friend-of-a-friend whom I had just met at Burning Man. Brilliant twist of fate. This was my first and only couchsurfing experience!

Intereses

Algo increíble que he hecho

So much. I've watched my mother wake up from a 2-month coma induced by a 20-minute lack of oxygen. Her heart stopped inexplicably one day 12 years ago. During the coma, she suffered extensive brain damage due to anoxia, and when she awoke, a whole new adventure awaited. She had forgotten how to speak, read, write, tie her shoes, etc. She did not recognize us the way you would recognize your family if you took a nap and then woke up. This has probably been the most jarring and intensely surreal event of my life. Its mystery continues to unfold.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Teach/Share: emotional and body awareness, handstands, compassionate listening, witnessing, rebirthing, peaceful birthing, sprouting quinoa, poetry, song-writing, authentic movement, dance, figure drawing, drawing photo-realistic portraits, and so much more.
