Description
Hi, I'm Mateo. A humble explorer who gets inspiration from Mother Nature, Music and Spirituality. I grew up in southern Poland, in a peaceful place surrounded by vast forest, majestic river and Carpathian Mountains. Beautiful place where nature speaks, people are listening and community grow strong working together... My life journey led me into engineering and I started serving society as a bridge engineer. I've been designing and building bridges for 10+ years with the last several years living in the UK. This stage however comes to an end, and I'm slowly transitioning into more sustainable and creative projects.
I've been taking some free time to travel and volunteer in some existing alternative communities. I built my own camper van and travelled across Balkan region visiting some great communities out there and helping them with all my skills and soaking up their beautiful holistic lifestyles. Now I’m back in the UK creating “Talking Trees” project. A place at English/Scottish border open for travellers, spirituals or nature adventurers... Long term goal is to leave the Western world and Matrix in gneral and find some land away that will call me one one or another. I want to start a nature retreat with earth-ship buildings, own food and natural swimming pond etc, a place for bringing people together. Simple and peaceful life...
About me
I am Gemini by zodiac and my true purpose of life is bringing people together. I do organize wild adventure taking ppl on a few days canoe trips, or simple walks in national parks. Running Talking Trees on AirBnB also gives opportunity to get ppl together.
I am very kinetic and sound sensitive and for me the most powerful forms of spiritual practice is dancing and singing. I have my own vision of dance session partially based on 5 rhythms with some modifications based on patterns observed in the nature. I also love Kirtan singing in any shades from Hindu mantras through eastern European pagan songs to latin American Pacha Mama songs.
As a traveller,
I focus on finding interesting people who are on similar path to mine. People who decided to live away from cities in harmony with nature. People who need some help or simply need a company to be able to share their stories. All sorts of herbalists, shamans, artists, parma-farmers, etc... I want to share with them and get inspired as well.
Peace be with you.
Aho!
