My main goal is to live life in harmony, seek consciousness and to promote kindness, love stoic philosophy and seek to live by their virtues. Inspired by ayurvedic way of living, my weekly food mostly comes from the backyard/earth (fruit and vegetables). Mostly vegetarian, however I can treat myself with bangers and mash or spag bol. I cook on the nights Andrea is in Mon & Tue. For fun work I have an art business oart, supporting a talented artist/producer team in presenting Music Theatre based on traditional knowledge. For my vocation, work full-time as Project Lead for Disability and Age care service provider. I did recently attempt a career change to study full time for six months Cert IV - Mental Health, I have since realised the overall system of care does align with my personal beliefs. As a hobby work project I volunteer for Australian Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Practitioners (AMAPP) in developing their strategy and supporting Board Governance.
Andrea is a part-time homie - German born - Aussie citizen - Kindergarten teacher - part-time schedule as a homie - here every Mon-Tue and every second weekend (though usually away camping etc). Earlier this year Andrea walked the Camino Santiago quest, she can fill you in. Andrea love's camping, walking tracking and doing side-trance festivals like Confest, Renaissance etc etc.
The best home vibes are those based on general social intelligence, including having time to converse beyond talking about the weather. Equally important, is open communication and living with humans who can contribute to living at a common agreed standard.
I would prefer to share the home with like-minded humans who are conscious consumers for the sake of the planet, their health and humanity. Pain points for me include over packaged goods, plastic packaging, chemical toxic cleaning stuff and CAGED eggs.
We live a chilled life full of harmony, no bad vibes, open and frank discussions and peaceful evenings, some good tunes on the weekend. I love listening to community radio PBS or RRR, when there is screen time TV, my preference is to watch doco’s or something that is going to help me understand the world or myself better SBSondemand, ABCiview, Hotdoc's. My guilty viewing pleasure for trash tv is 'Bondi rescue', I love observing how the lifesavers work as a team and manage stress! We often binge a movie Mon- Tue nights when Andrea ‘in d house’!
