Story of Shambala Vihār
The Journey to Shambala Vihār: A Dream Realized
It all began in January 2022 when I received a profound calling to move to Kauai. At the time, I had never been to Kauai—or any of the Hawaiian islands—and didn’t know a soul there. Yet, this inner pull was undeniable. Throughout that year, I experienced recurring dreams and visions of a land I couldn’t identify, a place I had never been.
The first hint of Shambala Vihār came to me on October 25, 2022, during the New Moon Solar Eclipse. After channeling energy to the New Moon Global Healing Circle, I entered a meditative, altered state. In this space, I felt compelled to open my journal and began automatic writing. When I finished, I was stunned to see what I had written: “Shambala – physical retreat space in Kauai,” along with the elements of the vision. A seed had been planted, and I could feel its potential.
After much inner contemplation, I took a leap of faith and traveled to Kauai in January 2023. My spiritual practice and energy work empowered me to embrace this journey. On January 11, I arrived, feeling a profound sense of alignment, as though every cell in my body knew this was my true north. For the first time, I felt I was home.
The energy of Kauai was indescribably beautiful yet challenging. Mama Kauai, as the locals say, tests all who come to her. After a few weeks of adjusting to the island’s energy, I began to feel a deep sense of ease and harmony with its rhythm and spirit.
A Dream Realized
Within three months, I was guided to the land I had seen so vividly in my visions. The moment I set foot on it, I was covered in full-body truth bumps—a powerful confirmation that this was the place I was destined to find. I felt an unexplainable connection, and it was the most powerful land I had ever encountered, nestled beneath the sacred Mt. Kalalea. The synchronicities surrounding this discovery were astonishing, and I knew in my heart that this was the place I was destined to steward.
On December 12, 2023, I formally registered Shambala Vihār LLC, and in April 2024, I fulfilled the vision by purchasing the land. What began as a seed of inspiration during the New Moon Solar Eclipse of October 2022 had sprouted into reality.
Today, I am deeply honored to share this sacred space, Shambala Vihār. I am in awe of Mama Kauai’s guidance and grateful for her trust in me as the steward of this land. This sanctuary is a sacred haven for deep connection with Mother Earth. I eagerly await the opportunity to witness the healing journeys of all who visit Shambala Vihār—a place where lives are transformed forever.
