SPEAKING
Conversations that help us see ourselves—and the world—differently.
Through candid storytelling, spiritual insight, and lived experience, Sadhvi Siddhali Shree invites audiences to look more deeply at what they carry, who they truly are, and how greater awareness can reshape the way we live and respond to the world.
A DISTINCTIVE PERSPECTIVE
A perspective shaped by very different worlds.
From military service and trauma to monastic life, film sets, corporate stages, universities, and international screenings, Siddhali’s perspective has been shaped in places that rarely meet.
She brings what she has endured, questioned, practiced, and built into conversations that feel personal, grounded, and relevant. Her aim is not to tell audiences what to believe, but to offer another way of seeing—through an idea, story, practice, or question that may stay with them long after the conversation ends.
SPEAKING THEMES
Conversations for what we carry—and what we are becoming.
Siddhali’s talks draw from lived experience, spiritual practice, documentary storytelling, and nearly two decades of monastic life. Each conversation can be shaped around the audience and setting while remaining grounded in the questions at the heart of her work.
When Pain Becomes Identity
Trauma, self-awareness and inner freedom
Painful experiences can become so deeply woven into our identity that we no longer know where the experience ends and the self begins. Drawing from childhood trauma, military service in Iraq, spiritual practice, and her own healing journey, Siddhali explores how we can face what we carry without allowing it to define who we are.
When the setting allows, this conversation may include intensive Purnam Yoga breathing techniques taught to Siddhali by H.H. Acharya Shree Yogeesh—offering participants a practical way to release tension, reconnect with themselves, and experience a greater sense of lightness in the moment.
Who Are You, Really?
Spiritual awakening, identity and the soul
Most of us define ourselves through roles, accomplishments, experiences, and what others have told us about who we are. But who are we when those descriptions fall away?
Drawing from her own spiritual awakening, monastic practice, and the guidance of H.H. Acharya Shree Yogeesh, Siddhali invites audiences to look beyond accumulated identities, reconnect with the soul, and consider what it means to live with greater awareness of their true nature.
Nonviolence Is Not What You Think
From personal awareness to cultural change
Nonviolence is often understood as simply not causing physical harm. But violence can also appear in our thoughts, language, habits, choices, systems, and the ways we treat ourselves, other people, animals, and the world around us.
Siddhali reframes nonviolence as an active practice of awareness and responsibility—not passivity or weakness—and explores how personal awareness can grow into a cultural movement capable of reshaping the way we live.
The Power of Film to Change Culture
Storytelling, trust and social impact
A powerful film can make an experience visible, bring hidden stories into public conversation, and help audiences understand an issue they may never have encountered personally. But meaningful impact requires more than telling a compelling story.
Drawing from documentaries about human trafficking, animal welfare, and women’s health, Siddhali explores what it takes to earn trust around difficult subjects, carry stories responsibly, and move a film beyond awareness toward education, partnership, and action.
Perimenopause, Menopause and Mental Health
The conversation women—and workplaces—need
Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than physical health. Changes in mood, sleep, cognition, energy, and emotional well-being can leave women feeling unlike themselves—often without understanding why.
Drawing from her own experience and the making of BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey, Siddhali connects mental health, documentary storytelling, workplace well-being, and cultural change. She also examines what can be lost when women move through midlife unsupported—from quality of life and emotional well-being to confidence, workplace participation, and opportunities for informed care and healthier aging.
Siddhali speaks as a filmmaker, advocate, and woman with lived experience—not as a medical provider.

FEATURED CONVERSATION
BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey
BALANCE screenings create an accessible starting point for conversations about perimenopause, menopause, mental health, workplace well-being, informed care, and the cultural change needed to better support women through midlife.
Depending on the engagement, Siddhali may be joined by co-director and producer Sadhvi Anubhuti, a medical expert, organizational leader, or another aligned participant.
Organizational and public screenings are subject to separate licensing.
PARTNER PERSPECTIVES
Education that opens conversation.
Organizations have used BALANCE screenings and facilitated conversations to bring greater understanding, empathy, and visibility to perimenopause, menopause, and women’s mental health.
BALANCE screening and facilitated conversation with Maven
“The event not only educated our clients about an important and often misunderstood stage of women’s health, but also helped our leaders see how menopause awareness directly ties to inclusion, retention, and overall employee well-being. BALANCE created an environment where open dialogue felt natural and necessary—bridging education with empathy in a way that inspired real action.”
Samantha Borowsky
VP, Partner Solutions · Maven
“Their presentation and discussion brought insightful awareness to the lack of knowledge we all have when it comes to women’s hormonal health and midlife care. We received positive feedback from employees on how they loved the episode and the discussion, and they are asking for more episodes to continue the conversation. I would highly encourage any organization to include them in its well-being programming.”
