I am currently on a journey of learning and practicing holistic practices such as creative intelligence, ancient wisdom, wholistic healing practices, permaculture, composting, organic food production and traditional culture while seeking technological advancements to help save our resources and environment for future generations. I study and practice ancient and indigenous spiritual technologies and practices like yoga, meditation, temazcal, ayurveda as well as modern wellness like trauma therapies, NLP neurologistic programming, family constellations, IFS internal family systems. I also love religions and all the diverse ways to get to know and love God, Spirit, Nature, the Divine.

Respect and honor tradition and culture.
Always keep an open mind to learn and experience new things.
Life is a journey, enjoy and help prepare the future generations in the evolution of our human race while embracing our love of our environment and our extended family of diverse brothers and sisters.
Care for people, care for the environment and share the abundance!
