About Me

I was born and raised Northern BC, Canada, and I work seasonally in forestry as a tree-planter during the springs and summers. With the rest of my time I like to play music, soak up sunshine, do yoga, meet people and explore communities, broaden my knowledge, travel, be outside as much as possible, and be cozy as often as possible... also I’m a Gemini, I love chopping fire wood.. and baking bread ..

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music most of the time, each task and time of day warrants a unique soundtrack ( cooking, driving, yoga, just hanging out) my constants through the years have been..
Bonobo, Radiohead, Massive Attack, James Blake, Nicolas Jaar, Vince Staples, Kaytranada, and Clams Casino

I LOVE books! And I love used book stores. I have too many books a someone who lives out of a vehicle. I like to have one esoteric, mind twisting book going, and then a light read for when life gets too intense. And some books about how to do stuff (like backcountry guides and dream symbols)
Some books that have had impact;
The Four Agreements, The Celestine Prophesy, Pigs in Heaven, Walden and Civil Disobedience, Zen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance, The Orenda, the Little Prince, Frog and Toad

As for movies; Cloud Atlas (the best), Harry Potter, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Notebook ( I don’t hide it, I cry every time), Mad Max, Narnia, The Arrival, Only Lovers Left Alive..
The Dead Poets Society

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ayahuasca~ I’m forever grateful for my experience with this illusion shattering medicine 🙏🏼

Teach, Learn, Share

~~Never Make Assumptions
Don’t take anything Personally
Be Impeccable with your Word
Always do your best~~
I try to live in alignment with the timeless Four Agreements as outlined by Don Miguel Ruiz

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love the opportunity to be in a kitchen, and cooking for people. And can also share music (I always have my fiddle), long esoteric ( or short practical) conversations, and chess (I’m a massive beginner, but it’s a fun time)
I just completed my 200 YTT in Rishikesh, and so I love to get the opportunity to practise teaching! Yoga sessions if we feel motivated! I can also offer guided Yoga Nidra and meditations
