More about me
I'm 32 years old and I currently live in London but I'm originally from Leeds in the north of England
I have many and varied interests in life, but my biggest passion is spirituality and trying to make a positive difference in the world
I love learning about different spiritual philosophies but I'm generally drawn to more practical and experiential systems like shamanism because I like to know and experience things rather than just believe in them.
I absolutely love travelling and seeing new places. Nothing gets me more excited than getting on a plane to some far off destination. South America is one of my favourite destinations, particularly Peru.
Favourite quote:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
