CURRENT MISSION

Be inspired and inspire, refine my mind and senses

ABOUT ME

I am not affraid of changes and news. I believe that everyone should only do what makes them happy.

I often think of life as a dream and strive to make it as beautiful, meaningful and revelatory as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the fairness of the Universe and the power of human intuition. And also that music, as a personification of beauty, will save the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise in Japan, snow in July in Squaw Valley, Norwegian fjords, Kuwait desert.
Tubing during earthquake
Over 40 hours of meditation in 8 days (the world has changed)
The shift from analyzing numbers to analyzing music still seems amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach writing to college students.
I love to teach what I know, and at the same time I don't think I can teach much, but rather share - languages, elementary yoga, piano for beginners.
Love to learn new languages, new dances and spiritual practices, and playing different instruments.
