About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a multidimensional explorer of mind, body and the cosmos. I seek and offer connections with people from around Earth ... and value humor, heartfelt expressions of truth, artistic and creative projects, and sharing excellent food and conversation.

ABOUT ME

Focused on progressive, creative thinking and problem-solving.
Highly energetic, enthusiastic, and sometimes even hyper!
Intensely curious about all aspects of life on this planet ... and beyond.
Passionate about health and wellness / explore biospirituality / I am an amateur neuroscientist? haha
Launched a TimeBank in my community: an alternative to money, you create wealth through one hour units of time which are "earned and spent" in a community.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share knowledge of certain foods, vegetable juices, dietary "nuggets of information" :-) I'm an omnivore: eat everything in balance to the best of my ability.
Can share insights about the "evolution of democracy" and innovative and transformative ways to break through government gridlock and two-party domination of our society.
