Hi there - my name is Zoe I am from Katoomba in the Blue Mountains Australia and am seeking ways of sending and receiving happy mail and connecting with people all over the world. I live with my 2 sons, an attention seeking cat and a bevy of houseplants. We live amidst the bush which I love walking in. I observe the seasonal moments of the Wheel of the Year and work in close connection to the rhythms of the moon, love mythology, bird and snake Goddesses and work with tarot and astrology. I also love music, dance and singing, theatre and I play the ancient woman's instrument - the frame drum.
