Currently, Shanti is involved in key projects that focus on translating and interpreting spiritual and healing arts literature, making these profound teachings accessible to a broader audience.

As an international teacher of the Yoga of Sound, Shanti integrates her knowledge of music education and vocal coaching into her translations, enriching the learning experience for her students and clients.
Her skills in music production, improvisation, and film scoring complement her translation work, as she often collaborates on projects that require a deep understanding of both language and sound. Shanti’s commitment to facilitating healing and transformation through performance is evident in her approach to translation, where she aims to create a harmonious blend of language and spirituality. Through her role at Frances Maffey, Shanti Shivani continues to inspire and educate, making significant contributions to the fields of translation and the healing arts.
