We had the good fortune of connecting with Shamananda Lee and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shamananda, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
The one thing most outsiders don’t realize about the spiritual and transformational industry is how much true integrity lives behind the scenes. The real work isn’t the content, the offerings, or the stage presence — it’s the relentless inner purification and self-inquiry that those of us in this space walk through constantly, often in complete silence. The transmissions that seem effortless are born from initiations that most people will never see. True spiritual leadership isn’t performance — it’s the choice to burn, evolve, and live in total alignment with truth, even when no one is watching.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My work is about helping people come home to themselves.
I guide individuals through powerful transformations — not by giving them something new, but by creating the space for them to remember what’s already true inside of them. My clients often release years — even lifetimes — of emotional and energetic weight, and what emerges is clarity, freedom, and a deeper connection to who they really are.

What sets my work apart is that it doesn’t follow a formula. I don’t teach from books or offer a one-size-fits-all system. I’ve lived every step of this journey. What I share comes from walking through intense personal transformation, letting go of everything I thought I was, and learning how to live from truth. My work is rooted in presence — it’s not about fixing people, but about holding a field where real change becomes inevitable.

I don’t claim to have all the answers. In fact, what I’ve discovered is that real transformation doesn’t come from knowing more — it comes from letting go. I simply hold a space where people can access what’s already true within them.

The path here wasn’t easy. There were moments that stripped me down to the core. But every challenge taught me how to trust, how to surrender, and how to live without resistance. And now, I’m most proud that the work I do is not just a service — it’s a reflection of who I’ve become.

What I want the world to know is this:
You don’t need to become someone else to be whole. You just need to remember who you already are. That remembering is where everything changes.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love the amusement parks of LA, the fantastic diversity of foods, PCH, the hiking up Runyon Canyon in Hollywood and the incredible and unusual book stores and shops that span Los Angeles that makes Southern California unique and special. There is so much to experience here.
