Biet Simkin is definitely a unique voice in the meditation world. She is a bridge between the ancient work of shamans and the modern language of rock and roll and fashion. Biet is best known for modernizing the spiritual path and has been called the "Meditation Guru for the next generation.”
Her immersive meditation experiences have reached contemporary audiences in cultural spaces, including museums, hotels, and fashion shows. She even scores her own music to go along with these experiences and she was one of the first to mix meditation with pop culture. Biet learned most of her spiritual teachings from her father who exposed her to a wide variety of material in her teen years.
Biet's father was a medical doctor in Russia, before they immigrated to New York. He had healed himself of Tuberculosis and became a practicing shaman and healer. Biet lost her beloved mother at a very young age and was left to fend for herself in day to day life. A talented singer and songwriter, she fell into the rock and roll world, eventually spiraling down into addiction.
She found a deep resilience after many tragic losses and now she straddles both the deep spiritual world where material goods mean nothing and the day to day, practical spiritual world, where everything from temper tantrums to material desires all exist. She shows us that these things can, and do, co-exist. Biet's refreshing take on unapologetically embracing the entirety of human existence, the range of ugly to beautiful, is really quite extraordinary. I'm certain that this is the reason so many people resonate with her teachings.
