Description
Hey!
A decade ago, after finishing a degree in art, I started reorienting my life towards something closer to skills and wisdom that lead to a life more connected to self, other and nature.
My bag of experiences contains staying at permaculture community projects, working in wilderness therapy guiding teens through the desert, learning many skills towards 'reculturing' (storytelling, percussion, song), and an endless list more.
I've got experience living off-grid on my patch of land in Belgium, and I'm currently attending a wilderness school in BC, Canada that focuses on deep nature connection as well as restoring communal pathways. I remain curious about traditional / indigenous ways of approaching life, and finding ways to restore health, culture, nature, tradition.
My desire is to keep leaning into a life that leads towards a more beautiful world. I hope to contribute to good projects and gain some skills and life-wisdom along the way.

Basically, I don't currently live in / practice permaculture or natural building, but I've helped and participated in it before a couple of times and know I have capable hands that re-learn quickly enough to be helpful in various fields. Capable in hands, body, mind.
I also bring a bag of culture; I love playing music (djembé, learning guitar, collected many songs), storytelling.

But in a fumbling attempt, I would mention both the natural building and seeing a healthy example of homestead family life leave me inspired and wishing - inshallah - to live my life in that way too one day.
