I write, study, play gongs, dance, explore, share stories and more. My darling daughter is off to college and I'm off on my own adventure! I am looking forward to living in a nature, art and peace oriented community at some point. I once lived at The Ojai Foundation, which gave me a great framework for that. I currently am doing the vanlife thing while looking for a place to settle. I have a strong spiritual side, a strong intellectual/scientific side, and am renewing my artistic side! I do my best to practice compassion and introspection, and keep a clear head when appropriate and feel my feels when appropriate. Respect, appreciation, critical thinking, and humility are very important to me. I keep to myself a lot and can also be very social at times. I love gatherings of heart-full sharing and singing around a fire. I look forward to when we can do that again. I have training as a death doula and I have been a hospice volunteer. I am likely to get back into those fields.
