CURRENT MISSION

Awaken all the joys and creativity I am here to express and marvel at the infinite connection in which it flows

ABOUT ME

I'm a writer, teacher, green community activist, carpenter, seeker, traveler, amateur archaeologist, sometimes musician... which is to say.... I have a widely varied experience with a good many adventures under my belt and a generally cheerful disposition that's willing to hug most anyone, just not early in the morning.

PHILOSOPHY

We are the dreaming part of a single eternal mind. Dancing with Ganesha in the middle of shining joy, that well... call it awakening... call it dancing... sure does feel fine sometimes, and the rest of the time... it's let go or be dragged.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The single thing I am entirely certain of is that EVERYTHING is connected, and so... I revel in seeing it work

Interests

History, archaeology, sustainability, gardening, alternative energy, building practices and transport, quantum physics,metaphysics, consciousness, healthy gut flora, intentional community, Kirtan chanting, exploring country, city, rivers, coastlines and... you know... something like enlightenment, or regular recurrent happiness anyway, just to scratch at the question

Music, Movies, and Books

Sorry, but I love bagpipes, then there's bluegrass, folk, Blues, movie scores and Hindu chants despite being raised on rock n roll, which... never dies. As for books.... too many, read, read, read, though historical fiction is the longest running genre. Australian author Tim Winton's book Cloudstreet is a true beauty mate. Love movies, mostly drama, mystery, history, action, the odd love story. Usually only cry when I'm alone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen babies born, a waterspout a hundred feet tall shining diamonds in the Caribbean sun and a diving bald eagle get eaten by a sea lion off the coast of Alaska. Yes, that's more than one, but what came to mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a book out titled What If? A Beginners Course in Exploring the Quantum Question of Consciousness, and other than that being a shameless plug, it's a great deal more concise than the book itself. I've been around some years now and seen and done many things that add up to some great stories and massive quantities of obscure but interesting information I am always happy to share and compare.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a builder with loads of design experience, so make a reasonable consultant in that realm, and when I do the washing up, the dishes actually end up clean, a sadly lacking skill in many I've found :)
