Ciao all, currently back in the US, still on the move. Queers and/or abolitionists get in touch <3
Descripción
Greetings, all!
My name is Coda. I am from the "United States"; I grew up on Potawatomie, Odawa and Ojibwe ancestral lands, also known as Chicago, Illinois.

I am a bodywork practitioner, student of herbalism. My academic background is in neuro/endocrinology. In process of blending these disciplines together, and love to collaborate/discuss/dream about what might become! As movement/dance is part of my daily life, I love a nice floor to roll around on.

I feel most at home in an inter-generational community or family, and love to skill share, grow food, dance, make music etc.
My travel is open ended, and I am ultimately seeking a project where I can rest a while, and contribute to a shared vision.

Sto studiando Italiano, aspiring Portuguese and Spanish student.

I am queer. If this is something that you have questions about, please ask me up front. At this stage in my Iife, living in queer community is a high priority for me.

Dreaming of alternatives to the many forms of imperialism that dominate our shared lives, and I push (within reason) the people around me to do the same. As well, I am pushed, by many loved ones and by new teachers, to continue living in integrity with my values, keeping gaze on the world being built.

Que habilidades tienes?
Creating a meal for others (and myself) is an act of service I put lots of intention into. I have studied many different systems of nutrition, and treat food as medicine. Fermented, soaked, sprouted, or cultured raw grains/nuts/legumes comprise the bulk of my experimental endeavors in the kitchen. Along with cakes made from vegetables.

I am a bodyworker (Northern Thai Style & myofascial trigger point therapy). I must limit the amount of sessions I do when I'm not around other bodyworkers. I do love teaching this practice to groups or couples.

I have farming experience in both temperate and tropical climates, low-tech farming, vermicompost/humanure, mushroom cultivation, and maintaining a strain archive of prints and liquid cultures. I would love to learn more about animal care & eco building.

Crafting tinctures and infused oils from herbs, fruits, mushrooms, etc. In-depth knowledge on herbal pharmacology. I'm currently carrying an ever-growing tincture apothecary with me...I dream of adding them to a community apothecary shelf one day so I have space in my bag for other things!
I have done yoga teaching in the past, but prefer dancing, exploring and improvising with people.

I have experience working with neurodivergent people, and people with brain injuries, or who otherwise have trouble communicating.

Love hanging with kiddos, doing creative play. Experience with infant care.
General housekeeping/deep cleaning....Great at organizing junk drawers and convincing you to get rid of your old clutter (:

Algo más...
Love making music. Guitar, piano, singing, percussion....something new!!? I am learning to be more "free" when making music/singing with other people...

Always up for a chess game...enjoy sketching portraits and collaborating on paintings/murals.

Of course, dancing, especially contact improv, is one of my favorite social activities. Interested in studying both Aikido and Capoeira more seriously. I've practiced a few different martial arts and would love a sparring buddy.

Discussing and learning about astrology/cosmology, history, social dynamics, medicine, etc.,
I listen to lots of podcasts and really enjoy being able to discuss the content with others...
always more to add (:

Ciao all, although you hardly need another glowing review for Fabri & Alessandra, here it goes! This family is truly committed to the spirit of Workaway. As you can see from their reviews, they are extremely experienced navigating relationships with many types of people. While "open-minded" is a word on every other profile here, they really do… read more

This winter, Elke welcomed me for the holiday season (Nov19th-Jan3rd) on relatively short notice. She was very quick to communicate, which helped my planning and arrival go smoothly.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn upon my arrival that she had three children, five cats, two dogs, plus a large park and adjacent forest to explore. My room was… read more very comfortable, and the living room has amazing floors for dancing!

We had a phone call prior to my arrival, during which Elke informed me that her workaway profile does not currently reflect the work required, so I would advise others to seek more information from Elke directly about the state of her projects.

For reasons personal to the family, this season was an unprecedented challenge in both a logistical sense and an emotional/energetic one. Thus, some content of my review may be unique to this transitional period of their lives.

The daily work consisted of giving hay & mucking out two locations which collectively house Elke's 12 horses/ponies. This is a twice daily responsibility, a 15 or so minute drive from home. Elke would either accompany us, drop us off, or arrange transportation from other contacts. As this often resulted in chunks of time spent waiting to be picked up, Elke has noted that having a workawayer with a driver's license would be highly preferable. It would be a nice bike ride in warmer months, and there are spare bicycles for those interested to pursue this option.

Another project we worked on (myself and two other workawayers who joined in my third week) was the transportation of horse & fencing materials to a new stable, over an hour drive from home. Here, we began the construction of fences around several paddocks which will eventually reunite the whole herd! Prospective workawayers should note that driving time is not factored into working hours, including cases where several hours are spent in the car.

Overall, the work aspect of this workaway is best suited for the those who prefer to maximize efficiency by minimizing communication when working with others.

I appreciated the variety of raw, whole quality grains & vegetables available at home, and Elke’s willingness to try a few of my recipes & ferments (: We also had some special meals over the holiday season, which was quite pleasurable. Workawayers should note that time in the kitchen, including when cooking for the family or guests, are not working hours.

If prospective workawayers have dietary requirements or preferences, I would strongly suggest they communicate so in their initial message, as Elke noted she did not thoroughly read my profile, nor the profiles of the two other workawayers who joined us. This resulted in some miscommunications around food choices and quantities. I will also note that the unpredictable nature of the daily schedule, juggling with the children & household management, lends to a lack of structure around meal times. Thus, flexibility of daily rhythm is required, as is proactive behavior around food preparation & kitchen cleanliness.

In general, workawayers should be prepared to have shifting hours throughout the week, for example working three hours for three days, seven hours for the following three days, etc, with one day off, though it may be a different day each week... and the plans may change several times in a day (;

Elke, I wish you the best in your manifestations. I hope you find a workawayer to speak German for yourself and Riccardo-- & maybe even a workawayer to test your theory of eating one meal a day while still working hard! All the best to you & your family (human and nonhuman).

Coda is a wonderful human being. We are all wonderful human beings, beautiful spirits in human bodies shining our Light, all in our own unique manner and no matter who the subject of a review is, this is the same essential core characteristic. Yet most of us have forgotten this, sensing within a twinkle of Light inspiring a journey to rediscover… read more

Dear workawayers,
I thought I knew what to write about Fionntain, but now that I am typing I feel a loss for words! I spent an incredibly rejuvenating 6 weeks here, and as I was leaving, I remember feeling like a stone that had been tumbling in the ocean for 6 weeks, a bit smoother around the edges.
Fionntain is an extremely accommodating host,… read more

Eleanor took me in as a last minute volunteer when I unexpectedly ended up in London with no place to go! From the first night of my arrival in her chalet, she brought me sheep's bone broth soup with beet greens and a (homegrown!)potato omelet and I knew I was in the right place ;)
The next six weeks were filled with delicious food with homegrown… read more

Coda stayed here for 6 weeks. I loved having them around. They was a great support to me in a rather isolated Covid world. We had quite a challenging project: hacking off the original covering and repointing and re-rendering the walls of my cottage with fresh lime and sand. Coda kept on through wind and rain working with me and other volunteers… read more

Oh where to even start??? Linda and her doggy family, and lovely house were a life saver for me during COVID lockdown, when Linda suddenly had to leave Thailand and her puppies needed a roommate! I stayed in the house for nearly 6 months, and Linda was fantastic about communicating whenever I had questions about the house or the island. While I… read more

I spent 6 weeks at this Farm just before COVID-19 restrictions went into effect. While they are closed for the foreseeable future, I would highly recommend staying with Noriko and PiNan. They have a number of projects going at any given time, and it is possible to work on the projects that are most interesting to you. There are anywhere from 2 to… read more
