About Me

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just a vibration trying to play in key.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm... I rode this poor little pony, lelu, through a meter of snow in the himalayas in kashmir on a trekking adventure. The snowfall was very recent and there were avalanches about every hour. My friend and i were a little worried, but of course our indian guide told us, "Dont worry chicken curry! Theyre not avalanches, theyre glaciers. Not dangerous." Yeah, uh huh. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a novice philosopher with plenty to say in that area as well as Archetypal psychology, energy work, herbal medicine, literature, poetry, and music. I speak decent Spanish and Swedish and horrible French. I will talk your ear off about single malt whiskey. Im a Yogini and an amateur Muay Thai boxer. I would looooove to learn to play the harmonica, speak French and tightrope walk!
