CURRENT MISSION

To revel in the challenges and joys of the Arctic winter.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy has been in flux over the last year... but some of my core values have not changed: treating all other beings with respect, kindness and interest; always learning and reaching; and, seeing beauty in everyday life.

Centres d'intérêt

Writing, reading, photography. Skiing, hiking, camping. Playing my guitar and singing (sometimes I perform at the local pub). Baking bread and making soup stocks and soup. TRAVEL. Meeting other people.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Books: this list could go on for a while, but some book-loves of my life: Kristjana Gunnars, Marguerite Duras, Anne Carson and Paul Auster.

I like to listen to a lot of different kinds of music. When I play/sing, I always head toward to the folk rock, Neil Young/Bob Dylan end of the spectrum.

Movies: my interests are hugely varying, BUT I hate the idea of spending two hours of existence on fluff, soooo if I am going to commit to an entire movie, it is usually a movie that offers something fresh, brave or otherwise new/scary/exciting to me.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Hmm, well I can help you settle into life in Iqaluit and discover the community here, which is quite different from most other places in Canada.
I could support you to write a large technical manual for an adult education program or community development program (no, seriously...). :)
I could play guitar and sing with you.
I could show you some edible and medicinal Arctic plants.

I love to learn languages and other human realities. I love to learn other ways of being.
I would also like to learn about and try hang gliding. and surfing. I would also like to learn more about overnight winter camping.
