THE EARTH TEAM

PARVATI

B.E.S (Architecture)

Certified Yoga Instructor

“The Positive Possibilities Lady”

Parvati is here to celebrate the gift of life and our true human magnificence. Meaning in her life comes from her devotion to her guru Amma. Through this, she learns to root all her actions in I Am consciousness. Her greatest joy is writing, producing, performing and singing music as an expression of love for conscious living in the pop mainstream. Her personal dream is sprinkling fairy dust of hope to all beings internationally through live music and radio waves. Her current show and album are called “Yoga In The Nightclub”. With a degree in architecture from the University of Waterloo, having completed several Yoga teacher-training programs, and with    the unique gift of being a trance-channel, she feels “inner architect” most aptly describes her path. Her vision of and actions for the Positive Possibilities have evolved naturally through her meditation practice. She feels truly blessed for the friendship and support from the Earth Team. Her life is dedicated to supporting the awakening of all sentient beings.
