WORLD ADVENTURES
Want to learn a Renaissance skill?
I teach DIY classes through Zoom or in-person to adults and children on international crafts, languages, art, music, sewing, writing, parties, dance, travel, and nature. Want to learn a new Renaissance skill? Or to increase your life satisfaction and live more authentically? Want to get your kids unplugged? The key is to keep things super simple. Check out some of my DIY projects or ask me about my classes.

I’ve made friends with my dragons and learned to connect with them through writing, art, travel, and dance.
