1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life? | I just reached a turning point in my life, I am going through a process of decision making to figure it out. I have been -since childhood- a key person to transform people´s thinking and doing, both individually as well as collectively. I write, broadcast, meditate and teach, mostly informally, so far. I would love to have the network and resources to do so in a more stable basis. My primary work would be both artistic and social. I work mainly with women in a rural community in Tapalpa, Mexico. |
2. What role do you see as yours to play? | I see myself as a link between the rural scene and the academic projects. I am an easy going link as well between rural and city characters. I engage people with nature. I bring people to deepen their awareness and minds. I practice disruption as a hobby everyday. I usually bring hope to the scene, although I am realistic and sensitive, I look for a critical perspective. I might have a part both in rural Tapalpa, as well as in the capital state city, Guadalajara, where budgets, polices and main decision making takes place. |
3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above? | Find out how my life and my soul work and evolve to set a path for next stage in my life.

I have much to learn about setting healthy boundaries and restate my expectations. To hold on to my spiritual practice and make room for a healthier way to take care of my body in the next stage. Balance. |
