CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy and laugh about the grand, beautiful, tragic gift of life. Shine light in those dark places within and around, for there lies hidden treasure. To help our culture, and myself, embrace our physical existence. To celebrate women!

ABOUT ME

I am a doula and midwife, who wants to create new culture around birth, coming of age, sexuality, menstruation-you name it! I am a feminist, peopleist, naturalist, sacred masculinity admirer. I love to garden and explore and take of my mask...again and again and again!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not trying to figure it all out in a rush anymore. Or force it. Instead savor the little bits and pieces of nirvana, bliss,and enlightenment that come every day.
Kindness to oneself and others seems to be essential to this.
Love love love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to participate in the CS community more now that I am rooted in one place for a change. I want to return the favor of all those couches and fabulous people I have gotten to know through CS!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had all good experiences, but some stand out more than others. I have been blown out of the water by how many folks not only have us over, but spend the evening sharing a bottle of wine, cooking together, celebrating life. When this works out for both parties, great!
