OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM BIOS

Satyen Raja

The most intimate thing you can know about Satyen is that he has a heart of gold. Everything Satyen does in life comes from his strong, loving heart. Whether it is guiding his successful company, teaching in front of thousands or caring for his beautiful family, every action comes from the goodness of his heart. The warm intimacy Satyen shares with friends, the ferocious disciple of his own spiritual practice and the intensity with which he faces challenges all begin and end in his open heart.

Satyen’s single greatest accomplishment and his true legacy is his continuing conscious choice, his unwavering practice, to open his heart. To really understand anything else about this man, you must first recognize this.

Satyen is the President and founder of WarriorSage, one of the leading spiritual growth organizations in the world. His company’s success is a testament to the trainings he offers. Every detail of the company, from office relationships to financial management, is run on the same principles that are taught in his workshops. That WarriorSage is highly successful in an industry where financial success is rare is evidence of Satyen’s business ingenuity and spiritual integrity.

Satyen began experiencing remarkable accomplishments at a young age. By the time he was 13, Satyen was already a natural teacher, and he was a promising apprentice in the Shao Lin tradition. Satyen learned to think in an awakened way which revealed a world of profound joy to him. When Satyen looked around and saw the discrepancy between how humanity was functioning and what was actually possible, his purpose was born.

From that time forward, Satyen began sculpting a Practical Spirituality. He eagerly accepted only whatever genuinely worked to make people’s lives better. He measured value based upon results and an inner integrity, and he taught others to do the same.

Satyen discovered that each person has a sacred core of unalterable divinity, but that most of the time we live our lives as a reaction to pain and programming rather than from our True essence. He saw that it is possible, through practice, to return to our core and to live the profound life we were meant to have, a life where we would naturally be an offering and a blessing to our world.

So that he could embody this Knowledge, Satyen scoured the world for more than 25 years to find and study with the deepest and brightest teachers who in turn gifted Satyen with knowledge and training. He continually made choices based on his intention to grow himself beyond his own limitations. Satyen distilled these learnings into an evolved, intense regime that could take serious students into the heart of Truth and Mystery.

Along the way, Satyen began many extremely successful businesses which he later passed to friends and family. Most beloved of all was his martial arts school which allowed him to impart the lessons of his 30 years of hard core training which he experienced on every level of his being. Today his top martial arts student runs the school.

To know what kind of man Satyen is, you have to look no further than his wife, Suzanne. Suzanne’s genuine warmth and radiance exposes Satyen’s depth and strength. When you meet a couple who are real yet passionately loving it is rather rare and always exciting because it eludes to what is possible in your own life. After 22 years this couple is sexier, more real and more in union than ever before. They do have a secret, and they want to share it with everyone. To see them teach is to receive the fire of real transformation with humour and with Love.

Satyen’s goal today is to offer you what really works in Real Time. The Path of the WarriorSage is your Path. It is your choice to wake up into what is possible. Your birthright is Prosperity and Ecstasy, but because the world has become so convoluted, you have to claim it through intention, choice, action and practice. The Path of the WarriorSage is a direct route to sustained Peace and Freedom.

Everything being taught on the Path of the WarriorSage is proven in the world every day by thousands of students. Satyen shares with you only successful strategies, teachings and practices. This allows you to realize your deepest spiritual happiness quickly! Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Satyen’s deepest purpose for living is to make it possible for others to Awaken in a way that is real, practical and sustainable. Each step on the Path of the WarriorSage reflects a step in Satyen’s own life and an offering of his purpose. Sex, Passion and Enlightenment, Living Ecstasy, The Illumination Intensive, Money Mastery, Spiritual Adventure Journeys, The Awakening of the WarriorSage…each step is a transformation, a portal to the permanent Awakening of your soul.

During the first fledgling years of WarriorSage, Satyen did it all. He was the main promoter and the lead facilitator. The event calendar was packed.

In 2009, for the first time, Satyen is able to relax the incredible pace he had set to ensure the momentum needed for the Path of the WarriorSage to be offered world-wide. Satyen is handing the reins of his entry-level, foundational workshops over to his capable top students. He is able to do this because he is confident that every participant will continue to receive impeccable service and powerful transformational opportunities.

As for himself, Satyen will still be leading select advanced workshops: including the brand new training, Erotic, Untamed & Profound. Satyen’s teachings will be made available on the internet, so he can reach his ever growing audience. He has also promised to throw in the occasional spontaneous event, as well as unique gatherings for those on the Path of the WarriorSage.

Whereas the public will see Satyen less, his family will see him more. Satyen will be devoting time to join with Suzanne in home-schooling their children, Satori and Shaman. Satyen will dedicate time to meeting with his teachers and colleagues. He will offer himself to further coach his apprentices. For all of those he comes in contact with Satyen will continue to give his all. It is Satyen’s sacred oath to Ignite Passion, Live Freedom and Embody Love.

When they are in a room together you can feel their humour, their experience and their union. Suzanne and Satyen are so real and exposed that it is fun to be with them. As a couple they emanate passion and possibility.

There is no part of Suzanne’s life that is separate from her dedicated practice and loving essence. Each morning, Suzanne gets up early to dance, so that she can intentionally invite Divinity into her body and into her life. Then Suzanne applies the same dedication and joy to raising her children, Satori and Shaman.

To know Suzanne is to glimpse what is possible for your own life. Suzanne delivers teachings with exceptional intuitive perception and clarity.

Suzanne is a living invitation. She invites men to live as their deepest presence in order to fulfill their genuine purpose and to offer their direction in the world. Suzanne invites women to replenish, to laugh easily, to dance freely and to rest openly, all in the midst of life.

Students do whatever they can in order to personally experience Suzanne as a teacher and as a mentor because of how deeply she connects and how gently she passes wisdom. Suzanne demonstrates that true power is subtle, and that it is possible for all of our lessons to come encased in Love. As our world heads into a new era, it is teachers like Suzanne who will lead the way.

All her life Kristi has inwardly been asking the big questions. Why are we all here? What is the purpose of life? She has always sought how she could serve the divine and others.

Kristi accomplishes all of this and more with quiet Discipline, integrity, Truth, play and Love.
