One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I stopped a canyon from being developed. I helped start a radical peer based education network that has been alive and thriving for 6 years in Ithaca, NY. I've hitchhiked across 5 countries. I rode my bike across Uruguay. I've worked everywhere from gas stations and factories to suicide hotlines and summer camps. I once ate a fish that a heron caught and was unable to swallow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot to share regarding massage and body work, hula hooping, joint mobility exercises, fracking, community organizing via listening projects, general radical activism. I always want to learn more about massage and body work, spanish, improv, community organizing, juggling, dancing, singing, yoga, writing.
