My name is Deana,
the creator of Be.Shanti
Welcome all!
I could talk at great depth about who and why Be shanti was created, however on this occasion im keeping it short and sweet as possible! Enjoy!
I grew up in a small village in the north of England, raised by my Indian mother in a single-parent home. From a young age, I felt a deep desire to travel and explore the world. I also felt an inner urge to connect with my Indian roots and gain a deeper understanding of how the world was created. Reflecting on this now, I can see how my spiritual curiosity was quietly shaping the path of my life.
At 21, I made the bold decision to move to India alone. My focus then was on achieving success in my career and gaining materialistic wealth, believing that these accomplishments would bring me inner happiness. I suppressed my childhood longing for spirituality, following the path that seemed acceptable to everyone around me. I threw myself into worldly pursuits and achieved significant success—reaching goals, ticking boxes, and building a life that appeared ideal to others. Yet, that persistent feeling of emptiness, the same feeling I felt as a child of wanting to know a deeper truth, never left me.
This inner void compelled me to explore modern medical approaches, doctors were often quick to describe my feelings as "depression" and prescribe strong medication. I knew these approaches weren’t right for me. Labeling my feelings as "depression" and numbing myself with medication felt misaligned with what I truly needed. My soul was yearning for connection. I wanted to uncover the root cause, not simply cover it with a bandage. This realization led me to explore alternative forms of healing and dive into the transformative world of spiritual healing.
I began my journey of healing and spirituality by seeking guidance and spending time with spiritual elders and wisdom keepers from various countries and tribes. I immersed myself in learning ancestral knowledge—profound wisdom that has been hidden from much of the world. Gradually, the emptiness within me began to fade, replaced by a growing love for life, a connection with nature, and a deeper connection with God.
Through this journey, I realized that one of my life's purpose is to help others find their spiritual path, and this realization led me to create Be.Shanti.
As a child, I always felt that my birth name, Deana, didn’t resonate with who I was. One day, I asked my grandmother for a new name, and she named me Shanti. I learned Shanti means peace in Sanskrit. Now, I see how perfectly it aligns with my purpose: to spread peace in the world.
I truly believe that everyone can benefit from spiritual self development and soul healing. There are countless ways to embark on this journey, such as ancestral healing methods, visiting sacred pilgrimage sites, participating in transformative ceremonies, or spending time in spiritual locations and practicing meditation. Each path is unique, and there is something out there for everyone. My goal is to help others find their path, to find soul purpose and to help people see beyond the conditioning society and media has put on us.
Through Be.Shanti, I want to share the knowledge and experiences I’ve been fortunate enough to experience and learn from. Every retreat, trip, and recommendation is thoughtfully planned by myself and experts in their respective fields, ensuring they are genuine, transformative, and deeply impactful. Be Shanti is more than a platform—it’s a community where like-minded individuals can come together to explore spirituality in harmony. It’s a space where ancient wisdom and modern living intersect to inspire peace, joy, and the discovery of your true self.
I look forward to connecting with you all on this journey!
