Michelle St. Pierre

Michelle has been cultivating a meditation practice for over 20 years beginning with zen in the late 80’s.  Creating Deerheart Sanctuary signified her commitment to her own practice as well as an offering of the container of silence to others.  Michelle is not affiliated with a specific  tradition and has always been attracted by those teachers who have stepped beyond tradition and into authenticity: Buddha and Jesus would be two historical examples. Presently Michelle appreciates the guidance of both Toni Packer and Adyashanti.

The deerheart sanctuary is her vision.

Iyana Celestine

Iyana started studies in energy awareness -- a sixth chakra (clairvoyant) spiritual path -- in 1986. Being a Gemini sun, she has explored a wide range of healing modes and draws on them in daily living as well as in the healing arts.
