calling all creatives, deep thinkers & seekers

Greetings, I'm an artist and plant-person from the States hoping to build genuine friendships (with men & women). While I'm pretty introverted, I’m also quite verbal– it's important to me that the people in my life are curious, open-minded and interested in "thinking out-loud" together. Though, I understand it may take time to build trust and comfort. Themes that preoccupy me include philosophy, psychology, mythology, spirituality, consciousness, creativity, culture, our relationship to the more-than-human world (and the interconnected nature of each of these). I’m an avid reader on these topics. With that said, I also appreciate silence and the kind of intimacy that grows from just sharing time and space together without words. I feel most comfortable in the peace of wild places. Aside from my creative practice, among my favorite activities include: foraging for wild herbs, berries and mushrooms as well as hiking, lake swimming, sauna and biking. I tend to get overstimulated by noisy, busy environments, but will venture into the city center for an art exhibition, concert, a nice meal or art film (I’m a bit of a cinephile). I don't participate in social media and am not the kind of person to engage in lengthy message exchanges– I'd rather us get to know one another & spend time together in person. But, of course, we can chat online a bit to get a feel of one another before meeting. Do send me a message if you feel the spark of potential!
