Description
Hi! I'm Roos (all pronouns), I'm on WorkAway to meet people and to learn and help with projects related to ecology and the weaving together of the social and the ecological, regenerative agriculture, community-building, creativity, activism, ...
When I'm not traveling, I live in Gent, Belgium and am planning on starting a regenerative farm and social-ecological cultural center close to Gent together with a group of people.
I enjoy being part of the natural world, and practicing in staying tuned to that. I also enjoy reading a lot, from Robin Wall Kimmerer to Octavia Butler. I also enjoy being creative, creating in all kinds of ways, dancing, singing (even though i'm sometimes shy too, but i like continuously learning together to be more confident in our bodies, to live freely, something that is especially harder in a world where certain ways of being have been historically devalued) I can be very social at times, and at other times more turned inwards, it depends. Most importantly, I value genuine connections, where everyone can be themselves.

More details about your skills
I am an ecologist and so have quite some knowledge about this, but am also continuously learning, and every place is different and has its own particularities :) This is related to permaculture, so I have some knowledge of gardening, but am still learning a lot
I am creative, and have participated in different artistic classes and projects (writing, theatre, visual arts, ...), but i still consider myself an amateur. It's more for fun than like a big skill :)
I have quite some experience with community-building, having been part of different cohousings and activist groups. But of course, like with ecology, every group is different, so there also continuously learning :)
