Colchester, England, United Kingdom

Presencing student, mindfulness practicer and paradigm shift pupil . This is the time to make a difference. We really are all in this together, every one of us. Your friends, neighbours, parents, siblings, boss, acquaintance, enemy, stranger all rely on you, me and each other. We dont have to like everyone. But we do have to see past personal differences and start to understand, accept, forgive and empower each other for the benefit of us all. We live on a finite planet, lets get over ourselves and act like it. I have a particular set of skills that aren’t exactly relevant but my story is. I would like to listen, learn and understand. If I can help, I will.
