Description

Hellooo fellow free spirits ^^ I’m Ellie, a longterm meanderer and adventurer fond of laughing, moving&grooving, eating, reading, singing, playing piano, drumming around the fire, and all kinds of silliness.

Once upon a time I began university in pursuit of a career in neuroscience but became disillusioned by formal education (and realized I'm equally an artist as a nerd :p), so instead I’m blazing my own learning path guided by the unseen forces of life, my heart, and the unwavering curiosity of my mind. I’ve lived in several countries, sometimes as a part of a project working with plants, renovating buildings, preparing food, or digging holes and moving piles of concrete… and sometimes just roaming free as a tumbleweed in the breeze.

For the past two years I’ve been in Berlin studying German and exploring art and community in the city and am now yearning for a change of scenery and culture, so I plan to venture east into nature. I would love to settle for some months (or longer) immersed in a project with likeminded souls and put my energy to work in the garden or kitchen, constructing creative new living spaces, or working with kids.

My lifelong dream is to dedicate myself to the collaborative creation of a food forest village where all sentient beings are welcome to settle and heal from the stresses of modern life. I am passionate about psychospirituality and natural medicine, seeking to find ways to integrate my own experiences and expand my awareness in order to support others :)

More details about your skills

I've worked on several farms/permaculture projects and am happy to engage in manual labor like planting, weeding, digging, harvesting, anything with my hands (or feet!). I also enjoy using tools/operating machinery and working in construction. Last year I was immersed in an earth building project so I've developed some knowledge of building/renovating via clay, straw, etc. and I'd like to gain more experience with upcycling. In the past I've also worked with animals (dog sitting business/animal shelters) and tutored kids with learning disabilities.

I love to cook/bake/ferment inventive and nurturing vegan food and I've worked at several restaurants/bakeries. In general I am super passionate about food and view it as both art and medicine, so I've got lots of ideas and insights to share.

Throughout my journey I've developed an affinity for natural medicine and holistic healing
and I strive to develop my knowledge and experience in these realms so I can be there for others on their healing paths. I also love to give massages and am eager to learn new techniques and strengthen my intuitions about somatic healing. :)

I'm also a passionate artist at heart and can contribute to collaborative projects with piano, drawing, painting, song composition... Let's create something beautiful together!
