Music, Movies, and Books

My love for music knows little boundaries. At the moment I'm especially digging Tycho, Yellowbirds, Fat Freddies Drop, The Waifs, Murray Kyle, Ngaiire, Jose James, Fleet Foxes, Lucy Peach, Manoa & Bonobo.

Reading and cinema tend to fall through the cracks more than I'd like. Some fave authors include Murakami, Peter Carey, Brene Brown, Tom Robbins, Marshall Rosenberg, Lisa Genova, Otto Scharmer, Joanna Macy & Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Designed and lead the sustainability management of one of my favourite music festivals Wave Rock Weekender. Danced in a Colombian carnivale float. Taught 60 primary school kids & teachers the Wanjoo song. Climbed mountains. Fell in love.

Teach, Learn, Share
