CURRENT MISSION

Learning how to be slow. Be wild. Move with spirit. Listen deeply. Be my realest self without apology. Share and grow. Play more music. Find home.

ABOUT ME
I am somewhat of a nomad currently living in northern new mexico. I have lived and worked in this beautiful land for years as a waitress, bartender, barista, herbalist and bodyworker, but have been feeling it is time for a new place and a new chapter in life. I am keen to expand my world view, learn new cultures and ways of being, perhaps find a place I can call home for many years to come. I love to learn other people's stories and music. love to play in the forest, make plant medicine, feel the wild sea, jump in cold rivers, make music, play with words, have meaningful conversations, have my mind expanded or changed, work with my hands, learn new skills, dance wildly

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you want to be treated
Everything is sacred
Widen the aperture
live in love
swim the sea, drink the wild air!
