Philosopher, experimentalist, and a bodhisattva in the making. On the lookout for magic and meaning in everyday life. Here to connect, play, and transform our reality for the sake of all beings!
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
I don't believe in 5 year plans. Everything is NOW. I see life as multitudes of experiments, our bodies as beautiful instruments to play, and every decision as an opportunity to advance in the game. Perhaps this explains why I have been living out of one suitcase for the last 5+ years across 6 continents; why I don't think we need just to choose one path, but rather there are bridges between them waiting to be built and met on top of; why I never quite fit the conventions of a traditional academic or professional world so I showed the answers can be found at the intersections of fields and departments.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
From blue eyeliners on a Tuesday morning to hosting an improv art show, creativity for me can be unleashed across a wide spectrum. The creative sees the world around them as pregnant with potential and uses various channels to give birth to original ideas and transformative experiences. I find refuge in between pages of philosophy books I read and liberation through the prose of poetry I write. I find inspiration from the curvature of buildings and trees, and allow it to guide the lines and colors inside my sketch book. I find resonance in music and on the dancefloor, and synthesize the frequencies into community-building and offering others spaces to play.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I can see myself helping someone who is looking to enter the field of sustainability and impact professionally; someone who is navigating the academic realm and needs a sounding board; someone who is looking for a loving nudge to travel and step into their power in the world; someone who is curious to learn more about Tibetan Buddhism and mindfulness techniques.
