CURRENT MISSION

gattering inspiration, sharing ideas, training lifefundamental skills; practically, socially, psychologically, philosophically and spiritual. Basicly raise consiousness to the highest level and use time and space to do so.. be sharp not numb... have fun..

ABOUT ME

as far as it seems; human

making me very out of routine and constantly on the move for more fruitful and deeper experience... caring and nurturing for all that lives and being present embracing for all that comes...

I am a bit of everything in a whole, from introvert to extrovert... I like sociability and being on my own

But in general I like quietness and a intelligible conversation

concerned and melancholic, energetic and optimistic

moved by thinking with a healthy dose of impulses

I don't intend to judge but only observe, i see a light in all, beauty in all!

--------------------------------------------------
Some technical background:
Since the age of 19 I started working as a volunteer on organic farms and from the age of 23 I was also involved in activism and socio/cultural activities.

Ive learned a great deal about the essence and principles of permaculture... I am very inspired and motivated to help create that symbiosis between community, gardenlife and nature. And see it as an important bridge to self-development.

I have been working in Portugal, Spain, Germany, France, Holland, Scotland, India and Belgium

PHILOSOPHY

in short: life is misery.. in that case life is teaching.. because misery is the best teacher you can have..

to know what is IS you have to know what is IS NOT..

See a failure not as a failure, but as something that needed to happen. Life is a school, and any failure actually brings you closer to your goal reaching a sustainable ease, for you and around you. Otherwise A failure will just sink you like a brick in a pool. If one door closes, many more will open.
