Chopra Center Staff Spotlight

Gabrielle Forleo

What brought you to the Chopra Center and what do you love most about working here?
I came to the Chopra Center in a complete life transition. I had done all of the things in life that one is "supposed" to do, but there was still something missing. When I first came here, I was able to reconnect with a part of myself I knew was there but never knew how to get to. I wanted to find a job that I was passionate about and with a company that I could really believe in. After asking the universe for quite some time, this opportunity manifested.

I love working at the Chopra Center because I get to work with the most amazing, conscious people on the planet, but also because I get to be a small piece of a process that has the power to transform people’s lives. Week after week, I see guests come here to learn the tools of meditation, yoga, and Ayurveda. If they choose to allow it, their experience of themselves and the world completely shifts. To be a small part of that process is the most rewarding thing I could ever ask for.

What is your favorite programs consultant memory?
I have so many because I work with the most amazing group of goddesses and we have so much fun! My favorite memory, though, has to be the celebration dinner at Seduction of Spirit in Whistler, British Columbia. We were at a restaurant literally above the clouds, high atop the mountains looking down on the Canadian village. I was there with my teammate and close friend Libby, and 500 amazing conscious beings who had just spent the week meditating and doing yoga, so the energy on that mountain was amazing! I remember going out on the deck as the sun was setting on the clouds below me, and feeling as though my life had indeed become as magical as I always knew it could be. There was this profound sense of peace and connectedness that I had never before experienced.
