I am a passionate holistic health advocate who values treating the whole person: mind, body, soul. I want to transition into that as a career, but as of now for financial reasons I work as a Medical Lab Scientist at a hospital (although I disagree with many tenants of western medicine.) I believe that prevention is the best cure and many of the reasons for illness is living in a sick society. My purpose in this life is a healer and I think one way to do that is to live in supportive communities.

I value relationships, authenticity, regenerative living, simplicity, compassion, non violent communication, health freedom and being as self sufficient from the broken mainstream as possible.

I have been interested in intentional community since 2004 when I first heard of the concept. I have lived in shared housing since 2010 - even spending time in a cohousing neighborhood for several months which I loved! I have visited a few ICs, including an ecovillage which I LOVED. I am learning all I can about this movement through books and podcasts and seminars on ic.org.

I am ready, however, to plant my roots somewhere. A place where I can put my energy toward a place which matches my values. I am in the process of really learning those skills which I will need to thrive in community. The soft skills of communication as well as the hard skills of the practical side of things. Community is not an easy journey and I do believe, in the words of Diana Leafe Christian, that it will be “the longest and hardest personal growth workshop that you will ever take” - but I value personal growth and know it will be worth it in the end.

I’d love to connect with others! Please send me a PM if anything resonates. I’m looking to join or help form a community somewhere in the US.
