Hi! My name is Avalon. I’m on a twisting roller-coaster that has plunged me to ocean depths, sped me through dark forests, and hurled me out into the cosmos. Somehow part of me has recently been spit off the ride and emerged blinking and shaking into the light. I inadvertently buckled myself into this ride about a year ago after graduating from my quaint liberal arts college in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. Since then I’ve traveled from my home city of Madison, Wisconsin to the forested mountains of Puerto Rico, across the ocean to the Dominican Republic, up volcanic peaks and into deep caverns of Guatemala, back to Wisconsin, to an intentional special-needs community in rural New York and now to a center for conscious living north of New York City where I am currently writing.
I am in the process of combining, chewing up, and digesting my experiences so they are nourishing instead of confounding or even terrifying. I hope to chronicle some of my adventures, expand on some ideas central to recent transformations and learn from others willing to share theirs. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are all on this roller coaster so we might as well throw up our hands and scream together!
