ABOUT ME

interested in the journey, transforming, being with people I enjoy, have a daughter whose 27 now so parental duties are finito! Although in an interesting twist, said daughter has made me a grandmother and she and her family are currently living with me- baby Otis is 7yrs old, so be aware of that if you think you want to stay here.

love it that we are good friends; she's a beautiful person and am so touched and appreciative that she chose me to be her mother...
:)
love travelling but prefer to visit locals and hang out with locals rather than usual tourist jaunts... love reading anything to do with personal and spiritual development, love nature, walking, swimming, love to dance, used to love to make stained glass mandalas, until i accidentally managed to burn down the shed/studio back at the begining of 2013….. and am a bodyworker/healer, am interested in all things esoteric, mystical and shamanic... love to create, be creative, make stuff out of resources to hand, learning to make organic skin creams at the moment...

the shed cum studio where I make burned down at the end of March 2013, destroying all tools, glass and the space and means of making; am currently asking: what else is possible? and How does it get any better than this?

currently living with partner

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

climbing Ein Geddi and Mount Masada in desert in Israel; travelling thru the Rocky Mountains in Canada, being in the springs kept in a sacred way by the Rastas in Barbados...
10 day silent retreat; giving birth to my daughter and she reaching 18 without either of us having killed each other!!

being present with my daughter through her labour….

Teach, Learn, Share

I am experienced journier on the esoteric path...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Couch available (sometimes) for maximum of two nights, is in the living room.

Don't mind cooking, sometimes, appreciate if it's more of a joint effort….

Quite close to the South Downs Way so sometimes have people stay who are walking or cycling it….

I am very rural, in a quintessential English village in the South Downs, 5-7 miles outside of Chichester….
