Living in Berkeley, CA. Raising kids. Still figuring IT all out.
Grateful to be here! <3 Interested in gift econ/barter/timebanking principals, intentional living communities, and how these ideas can be used to help people in need. Just started taking permaculture classes and have some space with the hope to create a community garden. Lots of dreams. Hoping to bring them into physical reality soon.
