Padme(ini) has been living a profound journey of transformation in this birth. Raised as a global nomad, she grew up immersed in diverse cultures, attending international schools around the world. Her deep commitment to service led her to humanitarian work, where she dedicated herself to cross-cultural exchange programs for two decades. However, a pivotal moment in her path came during a profound experience through yoga at the Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas. This awakening ignited a calling within, leading her to the Himalayas where she immersed herself in more intensive training in meditation, mantra, and yoga. There, she received her spiritual name “in the lotus” and deepened her remembrance of these ancient healing practices. After leaving traditional employment to step into full time creative flow as an artist and healer, she further integrated her spiritual practice with her artistic gifts. She currently offers Healing Arts workshops and retreats combining sacred painting with chanting and yoga. This work guides others on a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and inner transformation, while creating powerful visual tools for meditation and spiritual activation. She brings her art to various yoga studios and festivals, pops up on Jackson Square in New Orleans, and has exhibited at Miami Super Fine Art Fair and Gallery 2112 in Washington DC. Padme’s workshops have been offered at Townsend Atelier, the Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas, Yogaville in VA, and Omega Institute in NY.
