Ananta grew up in London and left England aged 19, with the desire to live as a free being. This first expressed itself through travel and lead her to Asia in 1989 where she has lived ever since.

Searching to find the Truth of herself she found her way to the Osho commune in Pune, India where she explored meditation and Self awareness groups for more than 10 years, also working with people for several years in the healing fields.

In 1994 she entered a two and half year period of silence in a Zen style retreat in Japan. It was during this retreat where True Freedom was realized.
