CURRENT MISSION

I would like to bring healing awareness to whatever I do.

ABOUT ME

They would say I offer them healthful opportunities to share, because I LISTEN. They know that I am serious about my spiritual practice of meditation and yoga, and work at this everyday. They would say that I am patient and kind and on the quiet side. They would say I enjoy art and literature and that I am a good writer.

PHILOSOPHY

Buddha, Dharma, Sangha.
Indigenous Cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live and work at the Listening Wellness Center in Barre, MA. The center is an old house that offers alternative health care to people in the region and encourages self empowerment around health care.
As I have to be responsible, I host people in my own suite. I have one room to share.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with Peggy Gillespie IN Belchertown, MA and enjoyed this spcacious home and warm hospitatlity.

Interests

Vipassana meditation, community, writing and yoga. I love to walk and enjoy organic sustainably grown food. I am interested in grief as well. I lost one son who died of an overdose in Holyoke in 2004.
I recently have become certificedc as a Somatic Breathwork Facilitator and a BARS practitioner and will be opening for clients in November.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Gandhi's tomb, sitting a six week retreat in silence, having an article published on feng shui, which lead to the marriage of a good friend! Had four children and one of them is a yoga teacher. Having children is completely amazing. Traveled all over the U.S.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not sure what I can teach. I believe in relaxation, and not going too fast. I like mediation and meditation, Insight Dialogue, Breathwork, healing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good conversationalist and also can listen. I am a good cook, and I speak a little French and a little Spanish. I do energy work, like acupressure on the head, which is very relaxing and healing. I also can help people breathe, as I am a certified Somatic Breathwork Practiioner.
