ABOUT ME I think folks would say I was a heart person, motivated by a world view which sees everything as one. Relationships are uppermost in my life - with everyone, especially friends and family, and the building and nurturing of community. I am an idealist, rather than a materialist. I am staying with my 90 year-old-mum in UK right now, and one day will have an old mobile home somewhere or other so I can remain free to move around and follow the signs! love life and sharing my abundant blessings!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Observed gorillas for six days at Karisoke, Rwanda, and having a silverback stand on my feet as he examined my camera.
Teach, Learn, Share
I teach Yoga and Mindfulness. I enjoy sharing insights especially around the books of Eckhart Tolle. Learning day to day! I also give a complete 1 hour massage sequence.
My Interests
I am leading a wonderful life for which I daily give thanks, doing what I feel moved to do and best contributing my talents, I trust! Most recently lived in Nairobi for 25 years with a 3 year break in the States: teaching (yoga, meditation), publishing (health quarterly magazine and articles), counseling, training (health store personnel), and event managing (annual EcoFair) - all in the field of holistic health. I enjoy humour; all kinds of music; film; art; and travel; and engaging with new cultures, and the unknown! Am passionate about Waldorf Education.
