CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I want to see in the world

ABOUT ME

I have been travelling on and off for the past 5 years mainly to India. This year I am following the path of destiny and starting in September 2011 I have traveled to Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Czech Republic, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Cambodia and now Canada!

In 2010-11 I lived in a beautiful community in England called Embercombe (embercombe.co.uk). Check out their website. They accept wwoofers!

I spent 18 months, in 2009-10, living in Sapney artist community in Auroville and spend my days between here, organising Dream Surfing festival 2009 www.dreamsurfing.net - a work in progress!) and the brand new Kofi Bar. If you would like to surf his couch please check out Snehal Trivedi's page profile and request him!

In 2008 I traveled to India and Thailand exploring differnt eco villages and intenional communities. Whilst travelling I completed my Permaculture design course and am now implementing these ideas in at Sapney, in Auroville.

I am a 30 year old artist. I am very passionate about making art with different groups of people and using it as a tool for social change. I am interested in sustainability and living in a more holistic way. I love being around people and sharing ideas and dreams. I love meditation, Chi gung yoga and the beach.
