CURRENT MISSION

Deeply, truly accept, love, and cherish myself, others, and the Great Spirit.

ABOUT ME

I am a budding musician. I'm into everything environmental. I'm an earthen builder, organizer, retired farmer, retired computer nerd, retired ED of a non-profit that protects the climate. bicycle activist. Spirituality is core to my life (not religion)- enjoy hearing about people's experience on the path. I'm way curious and like to explore. I think I live pretty simply. I love to dance - folk, rock, modern, what-ever. On of my most favorite things is playing music with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect.

Learn, examine, grow, stay open even if I think I can't. Ask for help; we're bigger together.
It's time to start enjoying - now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've slept by myself in hills of Death Valley, to wake to big mountain lion tracks by my bed. How wonderful that I am alive. Now THAT was couch-surfing. Oh, I'm missing the desert.

Teach, Learn, Share
