I work as professional clergy serving a spiritual, not religious congregation here in Indianapolis, Indiana.

I am also a licensed massage therapist, retreat facilitator, and coach.

I'm a maker, printmaker and gardener, and I teach pottery and frame-loom weaving. I teach people to enter into what Ursula Le Guin calls "handmind" using weaving, clay, and other forms of making.

And, I live well into being a jack of all trades, master of some, remembering that is still better than being a master of one.

I'm curiosity-led, and I love to learn and apply new skills and understanding!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to connect with the spirit of a place, and the best way to do that is to connect with the people of a place. As an introvert, having a human I can connect to right away makes that so much easier for me.

Interests

I love to learn, so if there is something you're passionate about, I'd love to hear all about it. I'm more than a little neurospicy, so I will listen to the most minute detail if you're telling me about them with excitement.

I'm also excited to share what I love, so don't hesitate to ask. If we can make something together, all the better!

Music, Movies, and Books

Fantasy and sci-fi are my go-to entertainment in reading and watching.

Lately my neurospicy brain has been all about DnD fantasy playlists and trad Scottish music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won an award for an event I designed, one I was very proud of. Having others take notice was incredibly validating.

Pottery, weaving, massage, aromatherapy, mindfulness

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can often offer some massage, depending on your space. I would be glad to gift you one of the small frame looms I use for teaching as well as some instruction, if you would like. I'm always up for a good laugh and to cook a meal for or with you!
