I am a songwriter and producer (voice, guitar, banjo, dulcimers, found objects....) greatly inspired by the world around me with her beautiful diversity of musical landscapes.

My vocation is in discovering the many ways in which music and the arts can bring people together in loving care of Earth. This year I am very excited to begin our Slow Tour, to explore ecological designs for live events.

From June 2016 I am travelling in Europe with my husband Rodolfo and son Inti; visiting many places including communities, eco-villages, Transition Towns, social and eco-projects, festivals and convergences; giving music concerts and workshops in teatro con-siente. As part of our travels we are making an audio-visual documentation; to share messages, experiences and expressions of ecological, community and transition culture.

For my husband Rodolfo and I; our creative practise is in service to connecting and interconnecting, to help bring community together and build local resilience, to expand skills in self-sufficiency and mindful co-living, and to enjoy living a good life - simple, diverse and whole!

Perhaps we meet you on the path :-)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

.... there is so much magic in the world .... I do love swimming in night-time seas of phosphorescence...

教，学，和分享

I enjoy making music with people, especially with musicians from other cultures. I can share some knowledge on permaculture, natural building and some crafts. I would love to learn how to sail and navigate and also learn more about plant medicine preparation and lore..... I am sure there is lots we can share :-)
