I have a background in film and food justice. I've traveled a lot. I'd like to be a guide in transformation and resilience over the next few decades of changes on the earth. I have the river system I was born by tattooed on my back, above the Egyptian hieroglyphic for the word love. I choose tattoos carefully. I have a rabbit. I'm close to my family. I'm deeply grateful for all our interrelated lives.

Find my stuff at outsidejosh.com. I moved to the Bay Area in 2010 for grad school - I study integral ecology at CIIS. I make art about spirit and justice. I sell local raw honey at farmer's markets. I go for walks under tall trees regularly. I ride my bike everywhere. My garden is exploding!

Paying attention to people. Learning the land. Combining strange produce to make delicious meals. Sharing earth through art. Cultivating community. Giving haircuts. Taking care of my rabbit, who's lived with me since NYC '02.

I have weird hair, kind eyes, maybe a cute butt - depends on which direction you're noticing from. I'm able to pull off different styles. My friend just said they noticed I was conscious and comfortable.

Books: David Abram, Audre Lorde, Derrick Jensen, Joanna Macy.
Movies: Studio Ghibli, Terrence Mallick, Charlie Kauffman.
Shows: Colbert Report, Parks and Rec, but I don't have a tv.
Music: Zap Mama, Tune Yards, Sleater Kinney, Reggie Watts
Food: Fresh salads, nuts 'n berries, seaweed, homemade kimchee.

I don't know what we get to keep through various incarnations, but from here it feels like I could never do without the people I love, my breath, good food, music, movement, touch, trees, water, all those things.

The world we all share. How we can honor life, love, diversity, and creativity. How we can sow peace and understanding and collaboration. How we can move past fear and violence into solidarity and healing. How to balance trust and urgency. How to balance revelation and responsibility. Who I might meet next...

fielding offers for fun interesting things out and about, and i do dance that is true, but also happy to stay at home for some potluck/bonfire/interesting conversation with housemates, or especially some quiet time to get back to my art.

Ask me anything...

I'm looking for transformative relationships - friendships and loves that challenge, encourage, and nourish each partner's soul and evolving story in the world. Someone who can talk about monkeywrenching or solastalgia or poop. Someone who wants to push on towards camp, but still makes sure everyone on the hike is ok.
