Lisa met her beloved teacher Gangaji in May of 1995. In 2006 Gangaji asked her to start holding Satsang and share her love with everyone. Since then Lisa has been invited to speak in many countries, and currently spends a good part of the year traveling and sharing the invitation of this lineage.
Satsang with Lisa was formally established as non-profit organization in September 2014. Lisa is closely involved in all aspects of the organization.
Jasmin Lace, Director
"I was 21 when I met Gangaji in Australia in 1999. This meeting changed my life forever. I met my beloved teacher – I was seen and I recognized myself in that moment as the source of all that is.
It is my great joy to be working and supporting Satsang with Lisa ~ in bringing the invitation of this lineage to whoever is interested. This is a lucky life!!"

Stevie Leppard, Marketing Director
“I first met Lisa in 2010, and was struck by her stillness, strength, and integrity. Through the intervening years I have been able to witness the deepening of Lisa's awakening, and the blossoming of her teaching through Satsang with Lisa. I consider her my teacher, and my dear friend, and to now be serving on the board of Satsang with Lisa is such pure joy. I know that anyone who has the opportunity to be with Lisa in Satsang will benefit enormously, and I wish for everyone to have that experience. May all beings be at peace. May all beings be happy and free.”
