CURRENT MISSION

being present NOW!

ABOUT ME

I'm driven by exploration and meeting people (esp locals), as I'm full of questions and ideas. And I always want to learn. I teach and study Yoga. I practice Ayurvedic medicine and am fasinated by sanskrit. I'm a aerial circus freak-who tours with the New Old Time Chautauqua,a political socially active circus group that goes into small rural communities and offers classes and performances. i also teach aerial silks for our local non-profit CircusMecca. I work in schools w kids bc i love it and work on a boat in alasaka in the summer, to pay the bills and be w wilderness.
My 5-year-old half sister is the love of my life, and the only reason i don't constantly travel ! I hail from rural California, where we have redwood trees,which are beyond form,beauty and time.
(when i make it home you have to come visit to see them yourself!)
I like to get up the greet the sun with Yoga aasanas,pranayama, and meditation. I'd rather use my body and mind to play than to party. Oh... and I'm obsessed with blowing bubbles.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, be present and true to your self .
I think there are so many ways we can all reduce the amount of damage we put on the environment and ourselves. Moreover, I believe I am the only one that can make myself happy,and you for you, and that is the most beautiful thing!
