Wild places and a simple life are my soul food.

In 2007, after 13 years in the IT industry, I decided it was time to organise my working life to suite my needs. I was working for an IT consultancy managing offshore software projects and I wanted more time to pursue my own spiritual journey.

I had become disillusioned with the concrete disconnected world of central London so I quit, bought an old van, booked into healing areas of an assortment of festivals around the UK and set about figuring how to live a life that gave me joy. Whilst on this path I found communities who are loving and connected to nature including the faeries.

What I bring to the project:

  • excellent tech skills
  • lots of experience of working in teams both structured and unstructured, paid and unpaid
  • volunteering – core developer of Faenet a social network for faeries and regular organiser of gatherings as well as member of the communications circle and the finance circle
  • experience of holding space – teaching yoga, mediation, chi kung and running workshops
  • knowledge of growing food and herbs for remedies

It is abundantly clear to us all that we need to change the way we live and i am very excited to be part of a project aiming to create supportive community focused on living in as much
