ABOUT ME

My intention is to Ignite Joy in others' hearts, to awaken the sacred fire within, and to rekindle the love, connection and celebration of diversity in our One Earth Family, and each soul's unique role to play in this big cosmic dance of life.

I love experiencing and appreciating different places and people, and hearing everyone's story. We all are each other's teachers ;). I traveled solo throughout SE Asia - Thailand, India, Bali, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand for 11 months and returned about a year and a half ago. I am so grateful for all the incredible souls I got to meet and learn from and share with - and all the experiences traveling brings, the good, bad and the ugly, the wisdom and conditioning-shattering it provides. And beauty, such beauty!

Now I'm so grateful to be living back in South Lake Tahoe, CA about a 10 minute walk to a gorgeous meadow view of majestic Mt. Tallac and the sacred Lake Tahoe (see photo). I get to teach Yoga and Qigong, Pilates and recently Zumba for guests to our area, and locally, and I fire dance (hoop, poi, fans, palm candles, staff), and get to work from home managing communications and sales for a small web development business. Did I also mention enjoying all this crazy pow this winter - seriously freshest lines ever - in Tahoe thanks to our Water Protector's prayers?

I'm a )( and very thrilled to be returning home this year after a 2 year hiatus!!

I'm very passionate about coming back into harmony with our mother Earth or home, and working to BE the change, to shift the paradigm from one of scarcity and fear to one of abundance and love, equanimity.

Wanting to build arts and culture events locally and bring the community together

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To build global community, to hear your story and share meals, laughs, to learn and go on new and wild adventures.

I love connecting with people over shared passions and collective humanity!

:) Blessings and love

Intereses

Yoga and dance - *fire dance* , music and gathering together as medicine (and fire dancing). These are huge passions of mine, as well as snowboarding & skiing and enjoying nature's incredible beauty through many different forms (biking, hiking, paddle boarding etc.).

I love sharing meals and cooking yummy and healthy foods with local ingredients, or going and getting amazing donuts or adventurous eats.

Música, películas y libros

I don't do favorites - too many interests and it depends on the mood and setting.

Music appreciations: Ayla and Wildlight, Xavier Rudd, Rising Appalachia, Enigma Beats, James Taylor, Beatles, world, Tycho, kirtan, classical, folky bluegrass, select EDM... many more

We don't have a TV in my house, and I think I may have seen 2 movies in the theater last year - I'd rather learn from others, meet new people or go play outside.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Watch the sunset at the lake/ on a mountain/ on a board or bike, alone or with friends.

10-day silent Vipassana mediation

Quit my job, sold things, and moved to follow the dream I had for 6 years of the inward and outward journey that comes with solo traveling. Fire danced, stayed at farms, ashrams, monasteries and villages around SE Asia. Now applying what I learned and getting to experience the joy and challenge of being a yoga teacher, and all that it mirrors back to you.

Voicing the unheard local perspectives from studies we conducted on whether wildlife conservation initiatives were benefitting the local people in Kenya.
