CURRENT MISSION

For everyone I meet to know themselves as "artists of their lives," and experience first hand, the amazing possibilities that come alive when we co-create!

ABOUT ME

please see The Art of LIVING Coalition website - http://www.artofliving.com - photos & click travel Map here (:

I recently came full circle to LA, and am circling to land. Over the years I produced large and small co-creative, ritual based, community building events, mostly along the west side. The spirit that moved me to do so, also moved me to create Circles Uniting, the project which has me living with people and after many recommendations feeling to take some steps here on couch surfing to connect up with you (:

I'm a lover of the Earth and have been communing with and photographing the Ocean along Santa Monica Bay for six years, up and down California to the Central Oregon coast these past two. If you like, you are welcome to enjoy the on-line gallery at: http://www.frankieleeslater.com

a young woman from the Czech Republic interviewed me regarding Circles Uniting, which I invite you tocheck out for yourself by going to YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJGzAKUTwD8

thanks for taking the steps you have to participate in the adventure of co-living, it's an amazing time on the planet, and I feel so strongly that the true promise of this time, the wonderful and amazing possibility to be awakened, is in who we are WITH one another. blessings, Frankie Lee

PHILOSOPHY

To be human is to be creative. With skill and awareness (= "art") we can be the artists of our life. This time, this long anticipated Aquarian Age is about who we are with, and the new skill level for this new time is co-creativity. Simple when you see it, hey?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While this will be my first time actually going about my journeying in the couchsurfing fold, my life has been lived in this spirit for as long as I can remember, and full time since my 30th birthday (half a life time ago). I'm happy to provide recommendations from all sorts of folks, as I've been largely based in the greater LA, particularly the westside, since 1979 and know thousands of people. True to my guidance of being lead into the company of core collaborators, various of whom are not people I already know, I'm intent to be here anew, thus my feeling to step in with the couch surfing community as well as learning first hand what this experience has to offer, as many people turn to me for insights in the co-living, co-creative realm...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From 2004 to present I have lived in over 100 homes in five countries and hosted around 20 people at my lovely little beach pad in Venice, CA, before going on the road full time in April 2011. Was guided to come full circle to LA and arrived back on February 1st, still being guided to be out with people at the level moving around and having different trajectories afford - the Brewery downtown to Alhambra to Westchester to Venice Beach to Glendale/Montrose, to Sherman Oaks, to San Pedro, to Topanga. Am forwarding a global project with the intention to be in the company of like hearted and minded people, while connecting with core collaborators in media and event production, and establish a base here anew.

Interests

Who we are together, we human beings, nearly 7-billion strong, and discovering what's right about it! Human Perception and How We Create, particularly the amazing possibilities that can come alive when we really get how great it is to be here together, and up our co-creative capacity. Living on this beautiful garden planet, especially up-close with the Ocean, in a celebratory way...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

walked on hot coals with Aboriginal artists from Alice Springs (who were until then landlocked in the very center of Australia) the first time the Tahitian Priest brought the firewalk out of the Polynesian Islands, took the ferry over to the ritual site with them and got to see their wonder crossing over water for the first time

Teach, Learn, Share

everything "art of living" - how to design a life of conscious creativity and contribution, radiant health, a wealth of indigenous practices and new technologies for change, DEEP distinctions in tapping into ones gifts, and co-creating with grace and ease
