Date women from United States / California / El Cerrito, 58 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. By day I'm a librarian; nights and weekends find me practicing fiddle, jamming with friends, rehearsing with amateur orchestras, and hoping to start a band.
Luckily I found someone who's into bluegrass who goes to festivals, concerts, and even jams with me. Turns out he's a very talented musician.
Curiously match.com never matched us up, even though we're incredibly alike in many ways. But by searching and surfing we managed to find each other :)

Meet someone special from California, United States. I'm an artist, a painter, and film maker, and in the summer I teach summer art camps for children. In the winter, for the last 2 years, I rented my home and studio and traveled solo, making a film on dance and nature, for 7 months in South America in 2010-11, and 5 1/2 months in Senegal, India, Nepal and Thailand in 2011-12. I love to dance, and I'm also a certified yoga teacher and scuba diver. I have an amazing daughter who is living part time at home at the moment, after graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from college in May. In many ways she has been my biggest teacher in life. I have a Masters Degree in Fine Art, and earlier in my life was enrolled in a Masters program in Wildlife Biology. Art and science have always held a strong fascination for me, especially in their processes of exploration.
I'm interested in finding a partner in life, someone who loves to dance and to travel, who doesn't mind the adventures of the road in remote villages, but can also appreciate a fine meal in Paris or Rome. I dance almost every day of the week, a conscious movement practice, so I would love to find someone who likes to dance or at least understands this process. I treasure presence and intimacy, grounded in trust, but also need space apart and enjoy knowing my partner has his own life and needs. I'm open to meeting and slowly getting to know someone over time, no rush. I love the outdoors and would hope to find someone who also feels the same way. I would love to connect with someone who has a good sense of humor and who is also guided by kindness. I have had a strong meditation practice for a long time, so someone who has a similar practice or at least understands this would be a real plus. And, although I know how to cook, I'd love to meet someone who also enjoys cooking. I'm curious about life and the world want to explore it with someone special. I'm openhearted and honest and if this sounds interesting to you please contact me.
