sun·ya·ta /ˈSHo͞onyəˌtä/

noun: the doctrine that phenomena are devoid of an immutable or determinate intrinsic nature.

Sunyata (they/them pronouns) is owner and founder of Healers Hive. They have worked for over 25 years as a psychotherapist, researcher, social justice artist, and meditation and yoga teacher. Now they are dedicated to weaving together the science of trauma with the wisdom and practices of nodualism. They have seen over time how nondualism meets people exactly where they are at and offers timeless guidance towards their inherent freedom.

They have been on a journey to understand the human condition since the young age of 10, when they met with local Hmong families to collect first-hand information about their forced displacement from the mountains of Laos. Loaded with courage and creativity, Sunyata has consistently run straight towards the the biggest questions of modern day existence.

This work is deeply meaningful and personal, and Sunyata has learned to hold peoples’ unique and universal stories with dignity. Currently residing in California on unceded Ohlone land, Sunyata enjoys dancing with the redwoods and laughing with the Pacific.
