CURRENT MISSION

Establishing my herb business so that I'm financially sustainable. Working on my own health.
Watching the plants and the animals closely and connecting their activities with the seasons.
Learning as many deep nature living skills as possible <3

ABOUT ME

I left the big city (Vancouver) this past fall and moved to a small island on the west coast of so-called Canada, and am living a pretty quiet life at the moment, just working on my business and taking care of my health.

PHILOSOPHY

We belong in the natural world. How can we develop deeply reciprocal relationships?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share and teach about...... wild edibles, plant identification, herbalism, wilderness skills & more.
I used to be really into non-violent communication so I can teach about that, and other communication & listening/empathy skills also!

I'm also really into social justice, radical politics & activism and have been part of communities tied to this & anarchist communities for a long time, so we could talk about that if you want.

I can also teach about astrology and have fun doing it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I care a lot about support and am an attentive listener to people's emotions and love supporting others in this way.
I'm also very clean and conscientious about spaces and noise!
I'm happy to share food and will do more than my fair share of cleaning. :)
