Overview
About Me
Love! Love! Live!
Answering the call of my heart's deepest yearning to live closer to the earth with respect and gratitude. May we learn to live harmoniously with all beings and share the abundance provided! May we have humility.
One of my current missions is to disperse seeds of Tulsi (Holy Basil from India). I have tropical and temperate varieties that I grew in Humboldt that I would love to share with you!
I am a plant lover and avid gardener. I am interested in meeting people from different backgrounds and hearing about their life experiences. I endeavor to help foster a culture of caring and sharing.
I am an organic farmer by trade. I grew vegetables for thirteen years in Rhode Island, USA. I am passionate about growing food in ways that are in harmony with the ecosystems that surround and support us.
In 2014, I visited eight intentional communities in the USA and one in Haiti. It was an amazing experience leaving me with a lot to ponder regarding what it means to live in community. I am eager to to share my experiences and help nurture more communal endeavors.
These days I am living the life of the bicycle nomad. My current home range includes the Redwood Coast and Southern Oregon. I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to come to know this part of the world.
I enjoy simple living!
I love to dance!
