Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Hello everyone, everywhere. I'm someone who wants to be a cause in this just transformational movement. I may be suffering from imposter syndrome in terms of what I can bring to this space, but my heart is guiding my intentions, and that is why I am here. In terms of my bio, I am a male in his 40s who has lived in various countries throughout my life, and who currently resides in Perth, Western Australia, and who in being human has experienced several situations that have caused me to develop certain values, which go some way to define what I stand for, some of which are: equality, safety, trust, nature, connection, exploration, imagination, communication, growth. I feel strongly about my vision for the world as a time when everyone contributes freely to a just culture in line with nature. Perhaps therefore you might understand why this space is important to me and that I feel there is a lot of work to be done. Thanks for reading.
