Description

Previously a charity project manager or on the ground deliverer, I'm taking some time for me to explore my heart's calling. It involves a blend of seeing the great in the every day, and simultaneously speaking up for compassion - I most welcome the opportunity to explore and share this viewpoint with people. I've used WWOOFing and Workaway before, and I've hosted people when I had my own place. Right now I'm looking for a couple of months of volunteering until December.

I do find writing profiles a bit odd, in short: I'm a fabulous human being - honest! If you'd like to have a phone or video call before organising some volunteering, then I'm most amenable.

I'd love to be volunteering alongside or part of a larger group. I'm quite happy to offer meditation sessions, help people with Maths/English or practical skills. I love people, but also need time to decompress and simply be. I'm vegetarian, and enjoy helping in the kitchen (although I can prefer to help rather than lead).

Some fun things I've done: 2 months on a vespa in Spain and Portugal, dabbled in community ministry, 24 hours on a MTB in Italy, made wood turnings, pottery, fixed bicycles at the UCI world Champs, volunteered as a chef to feed the homeless, I've tried painting, stone sculpture, kept bees, done permaculture, supported refugees, cooked G/F and vegan, lived in 9 place across the UK, written policy for Government, supported friends in their adventures, fixed engineering machines, built computers.. the list goes on. I'm sure there is plenty to share, but my favourite things to share are the things happening in the present moment.

If any of these resonate then we'll definitely hit it off:

- I adore sunshine and heat
- I´m spiritual in the way of Byron Katie, Martha Beck, Allan Watts, Eckart, Rumi etc. and I meditate or practice yoga daily. I can also lead meditation classes.
- Moving my body and being sensual is a must! Running, swimming, cycling, volleyball, or other sensual experiences.
- I love life, and like to gift that joy to other people. However, I am still discovering what this looks like.
- Current curiosities I'd enjoy learning: sign language, fashion, story telling.

Any kind of goofing around is welcome, but I have a particular soft spot for word play, Improv or talking openly about feelings, spirituality and the wonder of existence.

More details about your skills

I´ve spent 3 months WWOOFing in the past in the UK. Have renovated several houses/flats. I have run several charity projects and am proficient in a people first management (supporting a person´s growth and wellbeing via their environment).

Skills I enjoy:
- leading meditation (I would like to practice more)
- Cooking food (I need some guidance, but am very enthusiastic)
- Great at seeing a vision and planning a way to achieve it (for practical or spiritual matters, as a supporter)

Skills I am very good at, but would like to use less of:
- Excellent DIY and mechanic skills, including electrical
- I´m used to organising people and doing finances


I have kept bees, helped with animals, done pottery, wood turning, farmed, and would be happy to do them again.
