CURRENT MISSION

Working magic like our lives depended on it

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Chile, lived in the USA since I was 18, changemaker and witchydancer, expert in strategic communications and getting a party started, hosted http://abundanceleague.org/ in San Francisco for a few years, fan of great music and open hearted people, skydiver and spellcaster, activist and lover of life.
My first career was as a video producer, and then I shifted over to do communications and marketing for non profits, now I work for myself. I absolutely love San Francisco and have appreciated its proximity to Burning Man. Update: I moved to Melbourne in October 2011 and I currently work at the Wilderness Society trying to protect the unbelievable Australian landscape.

PHILOSOPHY

My path is that of teaching love and healing spirits. Fear is the ultimate thief of life force, and manifests itself in many, many ways. The only thing that you really need to know to have an amazing experience while riding this beautiful rock is that love drives out fear. I have taken it upon myself to help you learn this simple fact, or remember it if you happen to forget.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught a girl in the mid-west how to sit fly. Taught a couple of homeless drunks how to breathe through the DT's in SOMA in San Francisco. Saw Life in the eyes of a friend. The sunrise in the Atacama Desert while sitting by the Pacific Ocean never ceases to amaze me.
And flew my body over Utah, the Finger Lakes in NY, and Chile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about nutrition and raw foods, video production and photography, communications strategies and marketing, public opinion and environmental issues. I have worked in social justice issues for years. I can teach you how to dance, meditate, and some basic yoga poses. I make the best vegan sugar free smoothie on Earth : )
I want to learn anything that you might have to teach me, as long as its positive and fun.
I'll share my smile and beautiful vibes any day.
