Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer wisdom in a spiritually driven lifestyle. I live minimally, in a tipi in east LA. It is a sanctuary visually distanced from Downtown LA. I wake to roosters and birds and sleep to an aggregate of night sounds of the city. I strive to keep my life simple allowing for time with like-minded people, my art making and cultivation of spirit through reading and exercising.
