CURRENT MISSION

To tread lightly upon the earth

ABOUT ME

Very pleased to meet and know many beautiful people the world over. I have travelled a little in my time, and plan to do more in the future. I like to travel with a purpose or a project. I have much energy and enthusiasm for life, and enjoy hearing the stories of others.

PHILOSOPHY

To learn with the heart as much as with the mind. To listen for the deepest truth of things...and to laugh at the absurdity and magic of it all!

Interests

I LOVE nature and being outdoors, walking, wandering and exploring. Beautiful art turns me on, I draw, sculpt, write and dance (with varying levels of competency) and greatly admire others work. My long time ambition has been to devote myself to an artistic discipline, as meditation, expression, and gift to the world. However there is a streak of restlessness in me that has made this challenging so far :) I find yoga wonderful and practice when I can. I have not yet found a good class in my current location, but the search continues. I am a thinker, and love to engage in philosophical discussions...I'm not into arguments. I love to open my window in the early morning and lie in bed listening to the birds sing in the dawn. I cook vegan food and bake vegan cakes, which is most enjoyable when shared with friends. I am a student of herbal medicine, which brings much richness of thought into my life, and many challenges. I am now trying to slow myself down, and quieten my mind to engage better with the plants of the world and learn from them. Sea, cliffs, sunshine, verdant life and vitality, birds, cats, music, the night sky...

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, always seem to have about ten books on the go...mostly non fiction; philosophy, psychology, spirituality, anthropology, veganism etc. Adore live music, a little bit of everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Often I find the smallest things the most amazing...fleeting moments that lift my heart and bring life and the world more close and intense around me. The scent of blossom in spring, and honeysuckle in hedgerowed lanes at dusk. The wind when it is warm and blows from the west in the evening. The first few lungfuls of country air after weeks in the city. Clouds of starlings, flocks of crows, beneath a rising full moon. The amazing juicy fig I ate for lunch. The kindness of strangers, the power of love.
