CURRENT MISSION

To live and learn on it's entire extention.

ABOUT ME

I am an earthling wondering how cosmic dust unfolded into complex systems. Concerning human systems, I am a human rights lawyer and researcher interested in humanities, such as anthropology, philosophy, psychology, history and sociology. I believe the deep and needed changes will come from the edges and, most importantly, from within. I used to sing and play in a reggae band called Sintonize (Instagram @sintonizeoriginal), a source of joy and gratitude. I also work with traditional healing serving as a bridge between realms. I am.

I believe life is experiencing and that's why we should keep always in the present, because it's the only time we can actually experience things. Being with people and celebrating our differences is a great lesson we all should learn. I'm an easygoing esoteric clown and polymath wannabe who thinks "happiness is only real when shared". Let's share, then.

PHILOSOPHY

Living is experiencing. No deterministic precomprehension, just being and feeling it here and now with receptive attitude. Arms and mind wide opened.

Between right and wrong there's a long path. See you there!
