  • Description

    Hi!
    My name is Shani Grinspan, I am 25 years old, and am currently living in the US. I was born in Israel and have lived in Honduras and Iceland!
    Growing up, I have always loved traveling and have been able to adapt very easily wherever I am. My very first solo trip was backpacking in northern India with a group that felt like family in just 2 weeks. I am eager to learn about gardening, permaculture farming, and ways to live off the land.
    I am a recent graduate, finished my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I am an artist, I enjoy oil and acrylic painting and working with clay. I also host cacao ceremonies and Inner Child Healing workshops. I firmly believe that healing happens in the presence of unconditional love, and can be dome in a gentle peaceful space. I would love to immerse in the Workaway experience and meet new people :)
