Chopra Center Staff Spotlight

Kali Demeter

What brought you to the Chopra Center and what do you love most about working here?
I came here by SynchroDestiny! I was at a crossroads in my life, feeling very depressed, totally dissatisfied with my relationships, unfulfilled at my job and with my life. One day at work I had a moment of total clarity and I made a declaration to the Universe that I was ready for what was next for me. I really didn't know what that would be.

Later that day I went online to look for a job, and through a series of synchronistic clicks of the mouse, the job opening for a programs consultant with the Chopra Center showed up on the screen. Everything they listed as their ideal candidate described me to a tee, and I knew with all of my being that this was the perfect opportunity for me to make a quantum leap in my life.

I set my intention to start my job with the Chopra Center by a certain date, and then went to work on my résumé. So that I wouldn't sabotage myself, I made a declaration to my community to hold me accountable for taking action (I was really intimidated by this amazing opportunity). It was a truly powerful and empowering process and ultimately once they met me it was instant love! To this day, nobody at the Chopra Center knows who posted the job listing online where I found it. Thanks Universe!

What I love most about working at the Chopra Center is that every day I get to connect with and work with phenomenal people who are committed to empowering their healing, awakening to their highest potential, and living a peaceful existence. Being totally immersed in this nourishing environment, along with my regular daily meditation practice, has totally transformed my world. I approach every day with total gratitude for the blessing and miracle of life. I have the most amazing and authentic relationships and am in love with and living the most beautiful life I could have ever imagined.

What is your favorite program consultant memory?
Do I have to pick just one?! I had the honor of performing for our guests at the celebration dinner for Seduction of Spirit this past November at Paradise Point Resort in San Diego. It was so special to have the opportunity to share this deep, sacred, and personal part of myself with everyone. This was my favorite performance ever ~ on a beautiful night under the sparkling stars in our little slice of paradise, we opened with a special ritual to honor the participants and their blissful journey.

Our dance was accompanied by wonderful live gypsy fusion music. The audience was attentive and ever present, radiating the most beautiful vibration of love and peace. It inspired me to fully experience what it means to be the divine instrument through which the Universe expresses itself. In this beautiful timelessness and merging, I had the profound experience of the music, the dance, the dancers, and the audience becoming One.
