Advanced healer, teacher, psychologist, councillor, massage therapist and aromatherapist

Canadian born Suryakrishna runs classes that are fun, insightful and deeply profound.

Learning from Shakti Durga in Australia, Suryakrishna has been a student of Shanti Mission for over 17 years and has used the teachings to transform his own life in positive ways. He now uses joyful transmission to facilitate similar results in his students.

A frequent traveller, Suryakrishna is currently settled in Mexico and where he is available for tuition and healing both in person and online.

Himavan has a natural and innate connection with the Earth and the crystals that come from it. He uses this connection to heal and transform.

He grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. He left school, did an apprenticeship and then backpacked around the world. After returning home and setting up a business, he settled back into life on the Northern Beaches.

Although business and life were good, it felt as if life had become mundane. He was introduced to Shakti Durga and spirituality which was something he had never thought of or really believed in. Until that time, he had been a complete agnostic. However, this introduction opened him up to looking at life from a new perspective.

Through meditation, spiritual teachings and studying the energy body his understanding deepened.  After studying Ignite Your Spirit Therapy and Crystal Dreaming, he realised he had a deep connection to the crystal kingdom. This love and appreciation quickly lead him to crystal bowls and sound healing. He now uses crystals and crystal bowls to assist people to heal and find their true authentic selves.

Grandmother Nancy is of Algonquin and French heritage and has followed the Red Road since childhood. Seeking out elders willing to teach, her first two mentors were Lakota, one an author, one a medicine man. An Ojibwa medicine woman, then a Mi’kmaq grandmother later adopted her. Community elders gave her permission to pour lodges since 1991. She served as a facilitator for a Native Women’s Circle in federal prison for 17 years.

A Sundancer and a Sacred Pipe carrier, she is acknowledged as an elder and a grandmother in her communities in Canada, where she was given instruction to bring out and share certain teachings. Grandmother Nancy is a well-known storyteller, sharing legends from many different Nations in schools, health facilities and the pow wow circuit.

Sacred musician, Ignite Your Spirit therapist and teacher

Vidya grew up in the spiritual & musical culture of Brazil, influenced by his mother being a psychic channel & healer, but did not find his own spiritual calling until moving to Australia & desiring something more fulfilling from his life.

He found music to be an inspirational way to open the heart & go inwards, opening up new possibilities of connection with his soul & experiencing the divine within.

You can frequently find Vidya supporting Shakti Durga and other musicians with their music. He also regularly teaches students of Shanti Mission the path of ease and grace.
