Activities

doing creative work, as a spiritual practice

Priority request: writing, making art etc., with a spiritual intention.

catfishing

Request: Pretending to be someone else online, often in a romantic context... the motivation is to scam others for money however experience tells me this isn't always the case. Some catfishers get nothing but the thrill of emotional manipulation or pretending to be something they are not.

Nordic bath: alternating hot and cold water therapy

having one’s LoC calibrated
