The Voice on Fire Interview - Series #4 - LAUREN SCHUIVENS

Lauren Schuivens is a certified Meditation & Mindfulness instructor trained by Buddhist Monks in Thailand.  She is Founder of Samavira, the international pure-form meditation, with visions to create the first-ever internationally franchised meditation brand.   

Lauren's mission is to facilitate people’s transformations – helping them to  release life blockages by shifting their mindset and habits, through mindfulness practices, that help a person to drop into deeper meditation.  

Lauren had reason to explore further.  She had endured trauma and violence early in life. Diagnosed with a childhood eating disorder, life seemed beset with depression and suicidal thoughts. She was prescribed antidepressants as early as 17yo and told she would be on them for life. Lauren was further traumatised as a victim of armed violence and raped before the age of 20. 

With support, and traditional intervention, Lauren received treatment, and in time, was able to function within society again.  In spite of reclaiming some sense of normal, Lauren believed there had to be more to life, and began exploring alternative self-care modalities.   

A journey to Thailand for a retreat was the first stepping stone in Lauren's transformation, and so Samavira Meditation was born.
