| About Me
|
|
|
|
I'm a practicing Buddhist in the therevada tradition. I'm looking for an emotional intelligent practitioner to talk dhamma with, hang with. I was widowed 6 years ago and became a Buddhist in 2021. I spent much of 2022 living with Therevada monastics in monasteries in California. In 2023 , I was a serial house sitter in the PNW and then went to Thailand and Asia until June 2024. I've been on New Orleans since the election and am headed back to the PNW (Aug 2025) . I have family, friends, and a couple of dhamma communities to continue practicing with. I'm interested in deep, edgy, vulnerable, courageous relationship. I invite exploring my edges and would like others to do so with. I don't have a gold membership at the moment |
