A Special Event with Grandmother Sunder Devi by Marc and Milly

We love to promote inspiring teachers who can present quality information well and deliver authentic experiential workshops. Our latest offering is with Medicine Woman Grandmother Sunder Devi, who will be at the Serpentine Ridge Conscious Living Healing Retreat on November 13, 14 & 15.

Here’s a little about Grandmother Sunder:

Grandmother Sunder is a spiritual motivator with over 50 years’ experience presenting workshops and life coaching. She has lived in many countries, immersing herself in the cultures wherever she has lived. She will be using Australian Aboriginal, Lakota, Mayan and Peruvian examples of Sacred Culture and carries 3 Sacred Medicine Bundles, gained from her lifetime experiences. Her workshops focus on holistic healing, spiritual growth and personal empowerment. She gained her knowledge through authentic living experience.

Milly’s Interview with Grandmother Sunder

Milly

Grandmother Sunder, could you tell us about your life and how it all began?

Sunder

I was 5 years old and used to make Umbrella Tipis, looking up at the stars, telling my parents, “That’s where I come from!” I now know it’s called the Pleiades. In my life, I started teaching at age 6 with the Spiritualist Church. My Grandmother was the Minister of the Spiritualist Church, and I would give everybody a flower fairy reading: “You are a rose fairy, you are a sunflower fairy, because you are always shining, I was encouraged by Grandma.

Later on, when I grew up, I travelled with the Australian Psychic Expo, and there is not one place in Australia I haven’t read at. Marc Bright will tell you; a few of us used to travel around together all over the countryside. At that time, at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens, a Hopi Apache Man who was called a “Fancy Dancer” (Traditional Dancer) was visiting for Indigenous Week. I met both him and his wife, and I invited them to Peachester Hall. He came, and he danced and talked about Hopi people and the Hopi Way. The hall was so full there were even people listening and gathered around the outside of the hall; they just couldn’t fit any more in. He had great charisma and a powerful presence & I became good friends with him and his wife. He told me, “I need to go with this woman.” She was a Sacred Pipe Carrier, and she took me on a journey to another state, South Dakota. The woman was a Lakota Lady from the Lakota Nation, and in South Dakota I lived with 2 Medicine Families and learned about becoming a Medicine Woman.

I am a tough teacher, but at least I teach you the right (traditional) way, not the New Age way.

It may sound good; I participated in a lot of Sacred Ceremonies and hard living – testing of the physical, mental, and spiritual. I was living in America for 20 years.

Milly

Sunder, what was the main thing you learned from the Hopi that stood out for you?

Sunder

I will tell you about the teachings around the campfire at night, under the stars and when we are connecting with the land at the November gathering.
