TEACHER BIOGRAPHY
Unmani
Meeting with Unmani is meeting with yourself in the most real and alive way.
Unmani is originally from the UK, but has lived in many countries around the world. Since she was a child, Unmani didn’t identify with being a separate individual, but assumed there was something wrong with her, until she came across the expression of Satsang and non-duality. Truth has always been her passion. Unmani had teachers including Osho, Dolano, Nathan Gill, Tony Parsons, Gangaji and several other amazing people who are not considered ‘teachers’.
In 2013 she met her husband, the wonderful musician, and courageous lover of life, Robert Hanuman. In 2015 their son, Sky, was born. On 3rd January 2018, Robert Hanuman died suddenly from a heart attack while they were in India. Robert Hanuman’s presence deeply influenced Unmani’s teaching, and in the time they were together it evolved into a more human expression of the courage to live the paradox of the Absolute, living as this human. Robert put Unmani’s words to his beautiful classical guitar music and Unmani still plays his songs at her meetings.
Unmani has been holding meetings and retreats all over the world for since 2003, and in this time people have been deeply touched by her work. She meets each person exactly where they are at, and in whatever they need at the time, while at the same time holding them in the truth of who they really are beyond it all. This combination, and paradox, of the personal and impersonal, brings so much depth, openness and healing to people’s lives. They wake up to who they really are, and discover how this is lived and integrated into their daily lives.
Unmani has written 3 books ‘I am Life itself’, ‘Die to Love’ and ‘The Courage to Come Alive’. Unmani holds regular meetings and retreats several times a year as well as monthly webinars on different themes. There are many videos of her teaching from the past 20 years on her Youtube channel.
What people are saying…
“…deeply realized, unpretentious, well-integrated, empathetic, and accessible.”
Susanne Marie is a hidden gem. Not to you, because you’ve found her. But to the many people trying to sort through the plethora of contemporary spiritual teachers to find one who is deeply realized, unpretentious, well-integrated, empathetic, and accessible. I hope more of them find her. Unlike actual gems, that won’t diminish her value. It will just spread the light, love, and wisdom that she has so genuinely uncovered within herself, which is why I started Buddha at the Gas Pump in the first place. I am often asked who I recommend, among all the people I’ve interviewed. I usually say that there are many wonderful people, and you should go with those with whom you feel an affinity, but then I mention a few who have become good friends. Susanne Marie is high on that short
list.

“…such a pure loving embodiment of grace.”
I came across Susanne after awakening. She has been one of the main guides and a source of grace in my life, guiding me through the terrain of awakened living into deeper and deeper states of realisation. I have come across only a few beings who are such a pure loving embodiment of grace. Her approach has been gentle and paced, intuiting where I am at along the journey and guiding me into the next stage. I am forever grateful for having her in my life.

“She guides and heals with compassion, clarity, and humility.”
In my life I’ve had the good fortune of being in the presence of some luminous and wonderful spiritual guides, healers, and teachers. Susanne is the genuine article, among the finest I’ve ever known. She guides and heals with compassion, clarity, and humility. The Presence she carries and exudes is remarkably healing and deeply powerful.
