Catherine Allon, BSc., MEd., also known as Shanti Devi has lived many lifetimes in this one.  Her initial experiences while seeing the Russian tanks role in, as a child of Hungarian parents, during the Hungarian Revolution of ’56, started her on a quest for Peace on Earth.

It is this quest that has taken her on a career of over 30 years of devoted work and volunteering in the service of families, children and needy people in both the public and the private sectors.  It is this search for Peace, that took her to High Park for over 7 years, through the 90’s, creating annual Peace Festivals and bringing awareness to a great need for all of us to work and play together and to live as ONE.  This is her dream:  Living and Being as One, that we love each other as ourSelves, as children of All That Is.

Catherine is a pioneering thinker and innovator, a holistic psychotherapist, a facilitator of the Radical Awakening Process, a Kundalini Yoga teacher, a spiritual advisor, a personal coach, a mother, and a joyful grandmother.

Radical Awakening is a counseling process, designed by Yukio Ramana, a devotee of the saint Ramana Maharshi, to heighten awareness of “our True Nature” integrating both Eastern and Western modalities. Radical Awakening quickens the process of psychotherapy by releasing emotional patterns locked within the body from this and other lifetimes. The process of Radical Awakening is a dialogue unfolding spontaneously in a meditative state. This process is used to relax participants, to expand their awareness level, to access their core state, to dissolve and heal emotional patterns and to build their level of awareness − with the intention of lastingly empowering them to live in and experience the present moment.
