Meet the Founders
Eaden + Deva Shantay
Eaden + Deva Shantay have been creating sacred spaces together since 2009. Eaden’s deep love for community, personal growth, architecture, and nature combined with Deva’s visionary skills in art + design, intuitive sight and passion for healthy living, opened vast possibilities they were eager to explore.
The Shantay’s began creating True Nature, their award-winning sanctuary in Carbondale, Colorado, USA in 2011. The campus for education in conscious living features art + antiques from around the world surrounded by a magical biodynamic Peace Garden. The space offers opportunities to connect through a labyrinth, reflexology path, zen garden, wishing tree, yoga spiral, fire circle, organic cafe, spa, boutique, yoga studio and kiva. It is a remarkable achievement that one must visit to truly appreciate.
Their next creation led them to Costa Rica where they developed a sacred place for community to gather within the jungle, next to the Pacific ocean. Loma Sagrada is an intentional space with an eco environs that allows guests to explore conscious living, connection and personal growth.
Loma Sagrada has been featured in many magazines and has won three prestigious architectural awards reflecting a sustainable development approach that honors the natural world. The property has three primary gardens: medicinal and culinary herbs, fruit orchard with over 40 exotic types and vegetables, all employing biodynamic and permaculture principles. Loma Sagrada also has walking trails, a fresh water pool, a yoga shala, and two ceremonial spaces: the Temple featuring sunrise and sunsets and a Temazcal Purification Lodge.
Through the process of developing these two sacred spaces, Eaden + Deva felt the call to create a non-profit called “Connection Is The Medicine,” to explore their passion of creating a deeper connection to self, community, nature and Spirit.
In a world filled with disease and disharmony it is vital to share time in spaces that encourage connection.
