Interview

  • What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
    I'm going to redefine terms here - there isn't really "spare" time, but only time and how I spend it. So when I'm not working I practice yoga, paddleboard, love my partners, dance, hike, read, contemplate ...
  • What do you do for fun?
    Life and mine in particular is hella fun I have to say. Ecstatic for lot's of it. I'm definitely in the luckiest 1% of the planet's population just by virtue of being able to type this, let alone everything else. 99% of the planet would *love* to have my "problems". Still, most people aren't having fun most of the time - even those like me who are in the same 1% - economically, culturally, socially, etc.
    More concretely: Hang with friends. Be alone. Help others. Be physical. Be in my body instead of my head. Love.
    I'm a sensualist - smells, tastes, sensations, hearing, seeing, etc. are all very often dripping in ecstasy for me. That's a LOT of fun.
    As it turns out fun is also a great signpost for practice - if I'm not experiencing more and more things as fun over time, it's a sign that my practice has stagnated.
  • What makes you stand out from the crowd?
    honestly - I don't think I do lol 🤷‍♂️
  • What is your ‘niche’?
    Sharing / providing intentional boundlessly loving touch to men
  • What are your greatest personal traits?
    My tantra teachers have pointed out how distorted my own self image is so this question is a good practice for me to honour those things I appreciate in myself.
    My deeply loving heart, my generous helpful spirit, my open curious attitude to life and people, my finely tuned intuition, my respect for truth above all, my persistent openness to realizing my true nature, my ability to transform more easily than many, my gifts with healing transformative touch, my increasing ability to be as compassionate with myself as I am to others
    Taking a moment to absorb that and be with it ... much to my surprise my ego isn't inflating, it's fading in response and I feel the deepest humility and gratitude rising in my heart ... always learning from my teachers and others - especially when they tell me things I don't like to hear ... namaste
  • What should others absolutely know about you?
    Hehehe - the rich diversity of humanity is such that I can imagine *nothing* that (all) others should absolutely know about me.
    I wouldn’t presume to tell you what you need to know about me but would share openly whatever you wanted to know about me and be curious about everything that makes you, you.
  • How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
    No preference. Travel has its virtues, as does being at home. Wherever I go, I feel at home.
  • Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
    Air, water, food. I’ve lived without shelter and most other comforts and lived, even thrived, just fine. Life is a miracle. In fact, the less I had the more I thrived in the ways that really matter and I took that with me when things got more comfortable.
    I still managed to forget those habits for long stretches and rediscover it periodically, lol - such is human nature.
  • If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
    lol - not a thing until you’d expressed an interest in knowing something about me. That said, it's a blind spot for me to be aware that others might have an interest in knowing about me
    I’d be far more likely to be curious and ask about you.
