Hey there, my name's Autumn! I'm a freelance artist living in the hills of Southern California. I am passionate about sustainability and building skills to navigate the climate crisis. I have some experience with earth building using cob (a mix of sand, clay, and straw) and am actively seeking experience with more natural building practices.
I am a potter, photographer, and filmmaker. Art is integral to my life, and one of my favorite things is to experience the art that others create.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is a very important part of my life! I listen to all sorts of things, from indie folk to electronic influence to hip hop and rap. Some favorites are Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Kaylyn Rogers, Phoebe Bridgers, Dawn Golden, and soooo many more!

I read lots of philosophy, metaphysics, mysticism, and psychology. Some of my favorite teachers include Alan Watts, Ram Dass, Richard Rohr, Echart Tolle, Ken Wilber, and Mark Nepo

I don't watch movies very often, but a few favorites are Kings of Summer, The Place Beyond the Pines, and Arrival.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked through Norway and camped at the pinnacle of the Fjords.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share conversation about philosophy, metaphysics, and mysticism. I'm always happy to hear others' perspectives on these matters as well.
I'm open to sharing my skills of photography and videography as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share good conversation, good stories, and good vibes. I am really easygoing and enjoy connecting with people.
