Our Eco-Consultant ~ Aranyani/Wendy
Aranyani was born and raised in Upstate South Carolina and has spent most of her adult life in Western North Carolina and Asheville. Her life’s work bridges ecology, spiritual community, cultural healing, and intergenerational stewardship.
In 2017, through what she describes as an auspicious turning point, Aranyani was invited to take an active facilitation role with the former Mother Divine community in Boone, North Carolina—located beside the Art of Living Meditation Center. Since that time, she has served as Eco-Consultant and community liaison for the property now known as EverLand @ Heavenly Mountain, helping guide its transition toward a regenerative, peace-centered future.
She met her husband at the Art of Living in 2018, and together they are engaged in inclusive, interfaith ministry and healing work. Aranyani is also a devoted grandmother of four and holds deeply the Indigenous principle of responsibility to the seventh generation—that our choices today shape the wellbeing of those yet to come.
A visionary and pioneering spirit in the Carolinas, Aranyani met Peace Production founders in 2019 and resonates with its vision for peace healing throughout its advocacy & embodiment. She joined the Peace Council with her program Greenprint for Gaia, serving North & South Carolina. Her contacts and passion are bringing together conscious co-creators to manifest this vision.
Her spiritual path is integrative and lived. She was raised within the Southern Baptist tradition by her grandparents, who adopted her as an infant, while her parents practiced Transcendental Meditation at the time of her conception and early childhood. Over the years, she has lived in both Buddhist and Vedic ashrams and studied with teachers from many traditions, including Indigenous wisdom keepers, contemplative lineages, scientists, and climate-solution innovators. She often says her greatest teachers are Father Sky, Mother Earth, and the living world itself.
Aranyani also comes from generations of Appalachian dowsers and earth listeners, a heritage that informs her intuitive relationship with land, water, and place.
A member of Generation X and part of the early techno generation, she has long stood at the crossroads of spirituality, technology, and culture. She founded the Carolinas’ first experimental audiovisual space, created Eco Gr33nwav3, one of the region’s first solar-powered electronic music events in 2004 at a science-center planetarium, and helped open the Carolinas’ first sober nightlife and conscious dance culture.
She later served as a coordinator for the former Evolver Network, a hub of transformational culture, and founded Zenergy (11/11/11), the Carolinas’ first conscious electronic music and transformational festival. She was also the visionary behind one of the region’s earliest intentional communities.
Today, Aranyani continues to work at the intersection of land stewardship, peacebuilding, spiritual ecology, and community design. She describes her orientation simply: “I don’t live in limited possibilities.”
She is currently witnessing what she feels is profound ancestral healing unfolding across the American South—particularly within the heart of the Bible Belt—through renewed expressions of compassion, forgiveness, and what she calls true Christ consciousness rooted in loving-kindness.
