Overview
About Me
I have a diverse range of interests and seek ways of living fully and responsibly...regenerative culture is the term that springs to mind.
I am from the Scottish Highlands, (a stones throw from the Loch Ness Monster!) and love the wild nature and old culture found there.
I enjoy travel, learning from people of different places and exploring new landscapes.
Having worked with community projects for over 10 years, I enjoy collaborating with people of different walks of life and co-creating diverse projects and events involving sustainability and the arts.
My hobbies and interests have lead me to teach Tai Chi, perform with African drumming and Dance troupes, DJ and organize family friendly club nights, host traditional Scottish ceilidhs.
Having just participated in a wilderness program me for teenagers in Massechussatts, I'm inspired to use nature and earth skills as tools for leading healthy lives and benefitting society.
