CURRENT MISSION

Co-creating loving and joyful experiences with people and nature!

ABOUT ME

I love being outside, playing guitar, hanging out and making friends. I love listening to people and I love the beauty of trust and all it creates.

I'm currently creating my own PHD in "applied interpersonal and ecological philosophy and psychology" - I know... I'm working on a shorter name. It involves animal tracking, becoming CNVC certified, Permaculture, and contemporary theory. Its my passion and I really really am grateful to have the opportunity to do this!

PHILOSOPHY

I just try to expand my ability to love, be compassionate, and move towards a vision of a cooperative nonviolent, and creative world. Part of my philosophy includes opening up to yours

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new (Jan 2011) but surfed with a friend last year and loved it! I'm excited to host and surf as an opportunity to meet more cool people and experience the magic of holding and being held with trust (I want to live in that world!)

I've only experienced it twice so far, but am hoping to increase this a ton!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Some of the most powerful experiences I've had are somewhat simple upon reflection:
* Sleeping outside under stars, in storms, with soft snow falling down around me.

* Running 30 miles up a mountain and back down with a friend.

* Following Deer, Mink, Fisher, Bobcat tracks for hours until I feel I am that animal.

* Listening to others with so much love that something new becomes possibly and normally leaves us both with tears of joy in our eyes.

* The smiles of kids faces as we play in the woods together.

* falling back on my face laughing with joy at my first primitive hand drill fire.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would love to share my loving and accepting presence with people which contains no advice, no counsel, and no judgment - just the power of 2 human beings being in full presence.

I'd also love to share some magic tricks.

I'm learning Acro-Yoga and want to share that with people.

I also play 2 hand tap style guitar and would love to share that with people.

I also love to cook - love to share a good meal with you.
