One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a cooperative living community for three years was a once in a life time experience. It's amazing how much the experience of making the effort to collectively work and live together with of group of people allowed me to become a stronger, more open minded person. The exchange of knowledge and ideas that occurred in my time living there was incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that starting a garden and learning about sustainable practices is so important for the people living on this earth right now. That may be general but it's true. I could share my ideas about this. I have basic experience. I am currently planning a very small CSA with my friendz in a farming cooperative. What an enriching experience!

I myself am striving to learn how to be an artist who can use art making to teach others about the things i am learning and care about. Art should be an exchange of ideas and experiences, not a competition.
