Description

I think personal growth and helping others are at the center of a fulfilled life. Being human is an amazing possibility. To make the most of this possibility, surely what's needed is finding harmonies and continued development. Learning new skills, taking on different challenges and increasing self knowledge are at the heart of thriving. Through cooperation and collaboration we can bring benefit to each other and to the world.

For my right livelihood I seek to assist those with a positive vision for their own lives and the lives around them. To feed my own creative spirit I write fiction, play music and learn languages.

May we share our gifts and talents in the service of Life.

More details about your skills

First and foremost I am a creator, a supporter and one who believes in the potential of the human spirit. My main interest is in thriving and in helping others to thrive. I have used writing, art, music, theater, games, philosophy, meditation, comparative mythology and so on to help groups and individuals become more of who they are and more of a community.

I also have 4 years experience volunteering on farms and homesteads, getting into Permaculture, working with animals, and building a timber frame house with my father from the ground up. Then a further 4 years creating a food forest and meeting top teachers in Permaculture and Syntropic Agroforestry around the world. Though I do this for work, so I am more inclined to help in other capacities.

I also have 5 years of professional experience as a teacher of languages. Primarily English, but also Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, French and ASL. This I am happy to get back into and share.

I had such a wonderful time with Marcel. He is so present and open to Life's deeper callings. He is a healer in a world that needs healing. It was an honor to stay with him and share my time and energy and knowledge of Permaculture with him. Thank you Marcel, I am forever grateful for our work, our conversation and our connection.

Brahm is an exceptional young man, both in his enjoyable company and great personality, as well as in his knowledge and skills. He helped us with various projects around our small farm, including caring for chickens, helping with food and cleaning but his main project was working in our natural building project. He is very skilled in ecological … read more

Brahm won the first position of my mother's favorite volunteer for the past 5 years (and she is a very picky 77 years old lady)! We loved hosting Brahm, he is not only skilled and hardworking, he is also sociable and excellent communicator, curious and learning from anything, has lots of travel stories and wonderful ideas for his future. Thank you … read more

It was a great pleasure to spend more than two weeks with Brahm. We spent great time speaking with him about the world and his and our project. We hope he can find the best place at some point of his long trip and we hope to have the opportunity to meet him again.

Brahm is a great person. He worked hard, helping our project with everything, from the garden to English translations. He was always so cheerful, positive and flexible. He brought us new ideas and points of view on our project. By the way he is also a very interesting musician! Hope to meet him soon!

Anna is a visionary! I will always remember our long conversations about values and ideals and ideas about helping her community. She is very forward thinking and determined to make real changes.

What a beautiful place, high up in the rolling hills of stunning Emiglia Romagna.

What an amazing place! I've never worked on such a large organic farm before, and the fact that it's also a cultural space for events and activities of all kinds is really something special.

Brahm is wonderful with children and teaching and doing various jobs around the house. He is witty, kind and easy to welcome into your family. Also a talented film-maker which we discovered too late or we would have done a lot more with that. Extremely helpful with everything that crops up. Loves walking and the outdoors but equally good at the … read more

Musicians. Film-makers. In a castle. In Scotland. What could be better? I had a phenomenol month brushing up on renovating and maintenance skills from painting to lawn-mowing. Then long walks in the stunning natural surroundings and fabulous evenings with creative people. Keep doing what you're doing Susan! It's a great thing you've got going.

I had an amazing time at this farm. There's a really great sense of togetherness among the people working there. The place is very well thought out and very solidly constructed. My favorite part was the organic learning model they use, which is not a top-down "experts" lecturing to the uninitiated, but a grass-roots everyone learning together and … read more
