Interests

I like to spin balls on strings, move my arms around, blow in a tube, cuddle with other humans, make moving images, create things out of wood, fix stuff, hang around other people, and read nice words.

There's a special place in my heart for creating physical & emotional spaces where people can connect, love and be true with themselves and one another to grow individually and collectively.

I'm also interested in trying to figure out a way towards reinventing civilization, brainstorming stable ways out of multipolar traps, and debugging the world. [without much success yet]

Penspinning, napping, attending free events, biking backwards, getting shit done, being confused.

My own reactions, patterns and insecurities, how to help the people close to me overcome theirs, and how to create environments which brings only the best out of people.

Also, the futu..

What I Can Share with Hosts

Send a message my way, would you ever wish to meet in openness, warmth and understanding around a hot cup of tea, or under the midnight sun :) Let's explore our humanity, what drives us, our joys and pains, torments and sorrow, and what is beautiful within us, our passion and courage, what makes us grow and flourish, those parts of us which makes us human, oft pushed away behind the masks we wear.

.

Remember that you're beautiful, that you exist, and that you're a little universe.

Remember to breathe, to smile, and to be who you always wanted to be.
