I’m Charis, and I live in Bag End, the awesome little house on the West Side. Things I like include fermentation, Zimbabwean music and fiddle tunes, raw food, and my cat who everyone hates but me. I’m especially stuck on a big new project, though, which you might call Occupy Bloomington but I like to refer to as The Revolution, and I haven’t figured out yet how to balance it with every other thing in my life. I also am a newcomer to really, really liking hugs. I like building communities, dialoguing with people, and fighting for new ways of life.
