The earth and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light.”

About Sivani
Hello! I'm Śivani!
Writing, for me, is a practice of deep listening. It’s how I make sense of being human. It is where poetry, philosophy, memory, grief, devotion, and the unseen meet the ordinary rhythms of everyday life. My work seeks not to escape the human experience, but to inhabit it more fully—to create beauty where there has been suffering, language where there has been silence, and moments of recognition that remind us we are never walking alone.
Since childhood, I have experienced life as existing in conversation between the seen and unseen worlds. That relationship has profoundly shaped both my creative and contemplative practice, inviting me to listen beyond certainty and write from a place of presence, curiosity, and wonder.
For more than twenty years, I have worked as a spiritual teacher and guide, supporting people through periods of profound transformation, grief, illness, birth, and awakening. Those years continue to inform my writing, just as my writing continually deepens my teaching. To me, they are not separate paths, but different expressions of the same lifelong inquiry into what it means to live with awareness, compassion, and courage.
My creative journey began with studies in art at the Auckland University of Technology in Aotearoa, continued through a Graduate Certificate in Creative Writing at Humber College, and now through my MFA in Poetry at Pacific University. Across poetry, nonfiction, and fiction, I am drawn to writing that explores consciousness, relationship, ecology, embodiment, and the quiet ways our lives are transformed.
Thank you for taking the time to engage with my work. I hope, in some small way, it offers companionship, reflection, and a reminder that even our most uncertain moments can become part of something beautiful.
