More details about your skills

I thrive in a conscious, healing environment. I have extensive experience sitting with plant medicines and volunteering at Vipassana meditation centers where my role was to ensure participant comfort and support. I’m currently involved with the Claymont retreat center (and will be residing there upon returning from my trip in April 2024) and previously worked with the Omega Institute, a very well known intentional retreat center in NY. I would love to continue learning how to hold space for people as I’ve been told my nature is very grounding and heart-centered.
Most of my working life has been in restaurants, interacting with guests (although I am slowly learning more about food preparation), so I feel confident in my customer service skills.
In 2019, I volunteered with WWOOF and helped plant the summer garden for a family. Since then, I have worked for an organic greens farm planting, harvesting, and attending farmers markets. I have some experience with housekeeping and consider myself a very tidy and organized person so I like to clean and can help with these home oriented tasks.
I’m currently taking Spanish classes online and love the process of learning a new language and culture; I would love to help others practice their English. I'm fairly competent with computers and could offer help with bookkeeping.

What else ...

Trying new things and exploring has always been a passion of mine. In my free time, I'm usually hiking in nature, listening and dancing to music, reading or listening to a podcast that interests me, or enjoying the great company of those around me. The past couple years I've embraced living a more simple life and enjoying the passing of time when I don't have responsibilities.
I am interested in consciously living a more healthy and sustainable life.
