Profile information
Description
Hi there! My name is Rasa and I've lived in the United States for the past 35 years, after my family moved from Iran when I was a year old. I recently left a career in biotech to focus on healing and explore a more aligned purpose in life. I'd love to connect back to the basics - nature, community, and slower pace of life. I'm also very interested in ancient healing practices, health and wellness, adventuring in the outdoors, innovating and problem solving, and communal living. I'm open to learning various new skills, helping out wherever I can, and connecting with people from all walks of life. Excited to share this new journey with you!
