  • Description

    Hello everyone

    I'm interested in communitiy and alternative ways of living, being more in touch with nature and spirituality in many aspects. Internal growth is a main focal point of my life and it would be great to grow in community together. Because we need each other. I practice Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga and Kung Fu and astrology. I've spent the biggest part of my adult life living in communities or shared flats and like to share with people and meet new ones. More and more I've come to the conclusion that our usual way of living in the western world is not sustainable. Neither environmentally nor socially, for the well being of the people. I want more time to share, laugh, enjoy nature and life and just be together with others. And a more respectful way to treat Mother Nature. So now I'm looking to explore alternative ways of living with the possibility of staying somewhere longterm if it fits.

    I eat fish and veggie stuff, but I’m happy to be vegan for a while and have experience in vegan cooking.

    More details about my language interests
    With the exception of Arabic I speak all the languages I mentioned quite fluently, although in different levels of grammatical correctness. If you want to learn any of them, I'll be happy to teach you. I've worked a little while as a school teacher, so I have some experience in that. I really don't like not to understand other people and I love languages, that's why I learnt so many of them. I'm always interested in learning a little more about another foreign language and how it works. A language says a lot about the way how the people who speak it think, and I find that super interesting. To really deeply learn another language I'd need a reason although (like wanting to spend a longer time in the country where it's spoken).

  • More details about your skills

    I can teach yoga and tai chi (and have diplomas for that) , I could also translate since I speak quite many languages and have done translations before. And I have experience in cooking meals for many people. Otherwise I'm also happy to just help with gardening, animals or building tasks. I don't have a lot of knowledge about that although. I did some years of horse riding in my teenage years, so I do have some knowledge about horses and how to handle them. However, I have not ridden now for a very long time.
    By studies I'm a social anthropologist and I've worked in my country mainly as a social worker.

  • What else ...

    I like to play games: Board games, but also a lot of the kind of games we played in school as kids. And just as much I like quiet time and doing nothing. I love to be in and around water, and I love forests. I practice shamanism, with the help of a drum. And I do horoscopes. In earlier years I was quite activist as a feminist and also generally for a free society, antiracism and other left wing issues. Now I spend more time with tai chi practice than with activism, but my mindset stayed largely the same about these issues.
