About Anahata Giri
I am passionate about helping others to connect with their own soul river so they can share their exquisitely unique gifts with the world.
I am a soul guide, circle weaver and facilitator. I offer circles in Melbourne, one to one soul mentoring online and retreats in Victoria, Australia. The soul work I offer is an experiential blend of soul-based practice, embodied practice, nature-based practice, heart alchemy including grief work and sacred wound work, creative expression and sacred activism.
I am dedicated to the ongoing craft of attuning to the mystery of soul. I draw inspiration and guidance from: immersions with soul guides from the Animas Valley Institute; Bill Plotkin’s books and ongoing mentoring with AVI guide Laura Gunion.
I have a background in environmental activism, outreach work in the domestic violence field, qualifications in Somatic Psychotherapy, Yoga Therapy and Community Development and a 30 year path exploring personal, spiritual, soulful and social transformation. In 2022 I became a certified Purpose Guide with the Purpose Guides Institute.
In 2021, on a solo quest fasting in nature, I had a powerful soul encounter that revealed a mythic expression of my soul-self. This has apprenticed me to revolutionary love and soul wisdom and fired my commitment to serve this precious web of life. May we each rise up and share our soul gifts and co-create the more wise and loving world that is emerging.
I live in Melbourne with my beloveds: partner, son and our dog. I love reading, writing, singing, dancing, being in nature, following birdsong…
