About Me

Hi! I am from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and a connection to nature has greatly molded who I am.

I spent the past decade living in the San Francisco Bay Area, coming of age in fertile place that is such a nexus of Creativity and Crisis. In that time, I became a social-justice, surrealist film-maker and have spent the past 5 years making a mythical ethnographic documentary film about the Tamera Peace Research Center in Portugal.

I'm in artist in many ways - music, dancing, immersive mythic art parties, many different forms of creating culture.

I love community and am dedicated to building regenerative culture on planet earth, which means learning again how to be connected to nature, to the ancestors, and to each other, hopefully culminating in a neo-village life of beauty and magic. And to get there, there's a lot of clean-up we humans need to do, so I am also dedicated to the shadow-work, the grief, the transformation of the trauma, and the mystery that pervades it all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing because it represents a subversive step into a more beautiful world.

Interests

I am interested in anything that is helping us humans remember how to be connected, how to heal eons of trauma, and how to be fully alive.
