Description
Dear potential Hosts,
My name is Margarete, which means Pearl in ancient Greek. But many and most people call me Maggy.
I am a musician and music therapist, and a learner of indigenous ways of living and relating with the more-than-human world. Currently, my biggest fascination is with the world of fungi, which translates to long, slow forest walks, discovering mushrooms, identifying them, learning about them, reading and writing about them. I believe that our more-than-human fellows can teach us a lot about life.
My girlfriend and I have a dream of becoming land stewards, inspired by the work of Robin Wall Kimmerer and some other teachers. But we still have a long way to go. On my upcoming workaway exchanges I’d like to meet people who are already land stewards in one way or another, who are glad to share their knowledge in exchange for work in the Garden, in the farmstead, in the community… This coming Winter and/or spring I would like to travel to Canary Islands, and La Gomera in particular to hike through the ancient forest and get in touch with the land and its ways. I am excited to meet you! -
