Why are you inspired to be of service in the world?: Because of the sheer feeling of the energy in the air when empowered and revolutionary individuals join together to create change.
Because I know that even the smallest glimpse of freedom allows individuals to live a lifetime.
Because I know what it is like to be a part of an oppressed group of people.
Because anyone's injustice is everyone's injustice and on this Human journey, our spirits depend on eachother.

About Me:: A part of me is always dancing, flowing with the tides, thinking, questioning, being the five year old who constantly asks "why?" and really wanting the answer.
Always dreaming, organizing believing that anything can happen, never giving up hope, rarely disheartened, holding to the journey, finding beauty in the struggle.
Seeking to support, to uplift, to challenge, to feel, to dance in the fire surrounded by friends.
A picture of me in my mother's arms at my first rally only months old rests as a prized possesion upon my wall. Ive been called to the feeling of God long before I started aknowledging my engagement in yoga.

Tell us about any Seva Projects that you are already involved in...: I have a long background of community organizing, political work, social change work, so on and so forth. I just completed my first teacher training and want to use that in collaboration with the MSW and I am pursuing to serve the world, specifically activists challenging their own personal demons and thus working to heal the gears of this beautiful social change machine.
