I'm bisexual and polyamorous. I have two life-partners and a number of other lovers/intimates. I am passionate about community-building, understanding people's journeys, connection, communication, deep radical honesty, building trust, spirituality, and exploring the depths of people's life-experiences. I've been part of building up the polyamorous community in Melbourne and I love being part of that fabulous bunch of loving, caring people.

I love cooking (I just got given two lovely new huge cooking pots for my birthday! :-) ), playing/talking with my nieces, cycling, card games, board games, some computer games, cocktails, socialising with a smallish bunch of wonderful friends, latin dancing, cuddling, kissing (people I want to kiss - not indiscriminately), massage, touch for healing, honest real conversations, community. I loooooooooooove gourmet food and good wine.

I am people-oriented, heart-driven, and open-minded.

Hmm. I have chronic fatigue syndrome so I'm not working for money at the moment. I seem to spend a fair chunk of time supporting lots of people who in turn spend lots of time supporting me. I'm hoping to be able to do a course in group facilitation and move into that. I was a massage therapist for 12 years but have had to give it up completely for health reasons.

I'm also the first officially trained Cuddle Party facilitator in Australia, that I know of. I look forward to picking that up again when I get better.

listening, meeting people where they're at, empathising. Cooking. Creating fun. Massage. Community-building.

No idea. You tell me.

Music: really depends on the day. Most things some of the time. Not heavy metal and go easy on the opera. Although the right opera on the right day really gets me.

The love of my family and friends. Loving physical contact. A sense of connection to the divine or whatever you want to call whatever's out there. Freedom to pursue my life choices wherever they take me. People with whom I can be completely deeply honest and myself. A sense of purpose.

What makes people who they are. Why I am who I am. How to be more me. How to help other people be more themselves.

there's no such thing as a typical Friday night any more.

Ask me a private question and I'll answer it. If you're willing to respond in kind.
