Biet is a unique meditation teacher with a rock & roll sen sibility. What makes her story so compelling is the amount of adversity she has overcome. Losing most of her family as a young child, tragedy turned into music. She signed to Sony Records at 18. Shortly thereafter she had a near death experience, lost her infant daughter Ula to S.I.D.S, her house burnt down, where she continued to live doing drugs, then her best friend and her ‘awakened teacher’’ died. After years of addiction Biet, got sober. Her expe riences led her to create Center of the Cyclone, a special meditation experience, that she guides globally, scored to her music. Her work is just as warm and intimate with a small group in a living room, as it is with thou sands of people on stage. She has been called the “David Bowie of Meditation” and written up in FORBES, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, TIME & The New York Times. She just released her first book with Simon&Schuster Don’t Just Sit There:44 Insights to Get Your Meditation Practice Off the Cushion and Into The Real World
