Description

Hello!

My name is Alice.
I am keen to find community projects particularly which are arts based and working with women, children and queer populations.

I am currently taking a sabbatical from working in various social care roles in mental health and substance misuse charities to reskill with a more creative and holistic approach. I may train as a therapist or coach when I return.


In this time I am travelling the world whilst wanting to learn new creative skills particularly in the performing arts and meditation, yoga and wisdom traditions.

I am currently completing an online 270hour TEFL course with the hopes to teach English as a foreign language.

I recently completed a 4 more intensive physical theatre performance and facilitator training in Goa.

I also just completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh in May. I did a Workaway teaching begginer yoga earlier this year.
I am looking for projects which help build on my yoga teaching skills for beginners and would be keen to share what I know.

I recently did a 3 a week Workaway helping to teach English classes to kids and help with constructing a roof from coconut leaves and paint signs.
I previously worked on a development project focusing on issues around gender empowerment and issues like child marriage using threatre with school kids back in 2018 in Nepal.

See article:

I also have some basic building and decorating skills and am keen to expand on this. I would love to help make a mural or some painting projects to get my teeth into and be free to practice some simple designs. I draw but painting is a skill I would like to develop.

I have stayed on permaculture projects before although I am very new learning about farming and have only planted a few vegetables at home.

I also have some experience teaching English to school children in Nepal and Lombok island Indonesia and would like to keep developing this and teaching English, particularly in exchange for Hindi, bahasa or Spanish lessons.

I like to spend my spare time doing yoga and meditation, practicing guitar and singing a little, drawing and writing. I love to hike and see beautiful sunrises. Self reflection is a huge aspect of my travels and I need lots of down time to do this.
