Description

Hello! I am so happy to have found this space. I am South African, with Swiss roots, living in Zurich for the last four years.
The question here asks me share what motivates me and brings me happiness - the answer is a simple one for me - nature always inspires me, whether it’s hiking in the mountains, walking on the beach, watching a busy bee in the flowers, the smell of fresh cut grass, a brand new leaf slowly unravelling, sunset and sunrise, animals and their instinctual ways …the list goes on! I love connecting with people who can also go deep into their lived experience, not just the small talk! I am curious and love to learn about how people live, especially in the sustainable ways they have found. When I close my eyes and see myself somewhere, it’s always in an off-grid lifestyle, where life is simple but meaningful.

More details about your skills

Hello! I am Bianca, born in South Africa and living in Zurich, Switzerland for the last four years. I am open, kind, curious and spontaneous. Some of the things that bring me joy are - any time spent in nature, any time spent having a good heart to heart chat with a friend or someone in need, a spontaneous kitchen, bathroom dance to a good tune, and learning things that I am interested in. I have been a yoga teacher & massage therapist for the last 20 years or so, also was in the travel industry for 20 years or so, therefore my skills are varied and very adaptable. Most people who know me describe me as calm and grounded and a safe place. I am a quick learner, team player but also can lead (myself and others) if needs be. I am also “awake” to the crazy systems in place in the world, and don’t have any capacity to engage with this anymore… It just had to be said! I want to be part of a new way of living and interacting with the earth, people and community and I feel this is a good place to tap into this new way of living. I look forward to meeting, working with and developing relationships with like-minded souls!

What else ...

I have a keen interest in learning more about sustainable living, gardening and living off-grid. I have also worked with young children, teaching them yoga. I have a lot of integrated knowledge in meditation & breath-work too. I have also been exposed to the dog rescue world in South Africa. I love to sing.. and have been told when I teach Yoga that I have a lovely voice is very soothing. I play the shruti-box and chant too. And lastly, music is medicine for me!
