Life Threads

• ​Life long traveler, swallow, sun-seeker stalking the mysteries of remote lands,nature and communities from the inside.

• Teacher and presenter on the art of body/mind balance, the integration of creative process, life-force and the Living interface.

• There is a constant drive to re-configure human embodiment, understand the quantum space field, develop colour palettes, harvest surface textures and re-embody abstraction.

• To preserve all that is nature, raw and wild. Stop the destruction and desecration.  Reclaim, reinvigorate and cleanse all land that has been lain to waste.

• Love the Earth more, stand with the heart trees more, wake up more.

• There is always more, at the moment an ongoing video collaboration with writers, poets, song writers, voice workers and sound therapists.
