About Isira

Isira is Australian born.  She came into this world conscious and awake. At the age of 2 she was spontaneously meditating; at 16 she miraculously overcame a man’s violent attempt to murder her, at 21 she was ordained by the Dalai Lama and at 29 she fully awakened. As an enlightened presence her life is committed to bringing wisdom and compassion to the world.

Isira is here to help us all to awaken and create a world of greater love, peace and well-being. Her presence activates our energy and consciousness, which supports us all to awaken to inner peace and our full potential. More
