Hello!

I am Dan. I was born and raised in Maine, USA. I am a writer, a promoter for people and peace, a poet, and a dabbler of music. I am also a wanderer.

I am currently on a world-wide trip. I left my "home" in Sept. 2018. I've been all around the U.S. and to Mexico, Thailand, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Turkey, Belgium, Poland, and Ukraine. Next stop is near Amsterdam in mid Oct. to do a plant medicine weekend.

I will be sending requests to people in and around Amsterdam who I think are good fits for my lifestyle, which you can gather through reading my profile :)

With much gratitude for the generous spirit of this network, I thank you. I know this is not a "for-exchange service," but I do feel a need to give something as I come through and accept your kindness.

I am skilled with writing and online design of your presence, and I have experience in various inner-healing/energy modalities such as Reiki, meditation, and laughing yoga ! Yes, I am a certified laughing yoga leader :) I am also designing free-flow expression courses through writing and also embodied practices. I would love to share these practices with you.

You may find more of me and my unfolding process here: www.peacepoetrypilgrim.com

With Warmth and Peace,
Dan

Teach, Learn, Share

Blessings. We need to share our gifts and show love. I can talk about deep things if you want, like what's going on in the world, what our purpose is, and so on. I will meditate with you if you like. I can share my poetry too.
