Description

Welcome! I'm a freelance writer, lover of dance, weaver of songs, and an occasional yoga teacher, currently in search of intentional and land-based communities I can learn from and contribute to.

I have an assortment of interests and skills I love to share: from nourishing cooking and baking, farm work, and yoga teaching, to helping with your DIY projects, website/marketing content, or supporting with building projects. I'm no expert carpenter but find physical work deeply gratifying and have some casual experience with construction—past experience includes many a Habitat for Humanity home build, and a long list of my own DIY projects, including crafting an epic chandelier out of pinecones. I'm always eager to learn something new and do not hesitate to jump into the actual mud/nettle patch/fire ants.. if that's what it takes.

Home has mostly been California (Bay Area and San Diego) for the past decade, but I've also lived in Medellin, Colombia for 3 years so I am fluent in Spanish, and really in to papaya and salsa dancing, both of which I'd love to share with you if it feels relevant. I also love to share music (in the process of recording my first EP!), and have a daily yoga and meditation practice I'd be happy to share. And I make yummy gluten free carrot cake.

I'm currently a digital nomad, but have reduced my freelance work to just around 5 hours of work a week with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to support and explore communities—with the dream of eventually co-creating a small land-based community with a close friend, or joining an existing one if the right fit comes along. I'd love to learn more about permaculture and herbalism.

I already have a bit of a background of living in community, mostly in the context of 5-7 person intentional group houses with friends, and am looking to expand my experience and understanding of what living and creating in community can look like. On my journey so far, I've gained a lot of great tools in the realms of non-violent communication, Authentic Relating, spaceholding, cooking for large groups, and instigating singalongs.

Thank you for your time, I look forward to connecting.
