CURRENT MISSION

the Path

ABOUT ME

I have been living in the embrace of Grandmother Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina since 2010. I study Chinese Internal Martial Arts, Sacred Bellydance, and Methods for Holistic Healing. I am an Intuitive Astrologer and Sacred Movement Artist currently teaching my own blend of yoga, qi gong, and intuitive movement.

Dancing, moving energy, communing with the stars.. I am also learning to drum, enjoying ceremony, reading about Mary Magdalen, and serving tables at a Caribbean restaurant. It's all part of the dance. My focus and my passion lies with exploring healing realms. Remembering who I have been, who I am, and bringing in clarity so that others can remember themselves.

PHILOSOPHY

Ain't no party like a one-love party and a one-love party's just a breath.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I backpacked Europe Fall 2007 and couchsurfed there with some extremely kind folks. Upon return, I moved to Boston and became a host in that town. Since leaving Boston I have not participated as a host, but I have been here in spirit! I live in a house full of women who have enjoyed many couchsurfers passing through.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE couchsurfing. I find that the people who participate are most often the type of people I most enjoy - openminded, friendly, trusting... I always learn from a couchsurfing experience, especially as a host. And by "learn" I mean devour a delicious foreign meal that I force my guests to slave over in a hot kitchen (without spatula or cutting board) for hours.

Interests

Internal Alchemy. Seriously! Haha. Who knew I would make my life into an exploration and synthesis of spiritual cultivation techniques? This is where my path has led. I study all different forms of internal alchemy and I am in a process of blending them - yoga, qi gong, internal martial arts, astrology, shamanic journeying, toning, mind-directed intent.. I am a healing arts junky.

Music, Movies, and Books

Not much for movies these days.
My partner is a sound-healing artist, and I love his music. Meditative guzheng with native flute, hand pan. He also drops luscious beats and adds a mystical flair.
I'm a big fan of afrobeat, neo-soul, West African and North African tunes, Middle-Eastern tunes, and good old-fashioned hip-hop.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many things. It gets more amazing every day. The subtler, the better.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to smile, if you need help in that arena.
I love to share eating healthful meals directly from the earth. I will by default teach you about astrology because that's the language I generally speak.
