Kate B

….has been a singer for as long as she can remember and first picked up the guitar when she was 14.  She has done everything musical short of playing in an orchestra… from folk to blues and cafes to weddings and community choirs.  Her journey has more recently carried her back to the world of chanting, mantra and kirtan, revisiting an old passion in the joy of creating uplifting sound with others.  Since this reconnection, the Ukelele and Celtic Harp have found their way into the musical landscape, supporting the original songs which seem to flow effortlessly now, fuelled by her true inspiration….  That is: sharing her love of voice and song to create a musical sanctuary, to connect us with others, provide refuge from the busi-ness of our everyday lives, quieten the mind and leave us with a deep sense of peace & joy.

Kate is also a Yoga Chi Gung teacher and Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist & Facilitator with a background in martial arts and dance. With two decades experience teaching, she loves sharing these healing arts with the community through treatments, classes and workshops, with the vision that through music and healing touch we can all experience greater wellbeing in our lives.

Allison Davies

… is a former Neurologic Music Therapist who stepped out of the allied health system after 16 years, and now focuses on enacting societal change by dismantling harmful musical myths. She uses music and voice therapeutically, as a way of experiencing felt safety within a trauma informed and neuro affirming framework.

Alli is an autistic person with attention, sensory processing and executive functioning differences. She works within a neuro-affirming framework that favours acceptance and regulation over assimilation and intervention, and shares her lived experience of autism openly within her workshops and conferences as part of her ‘emotive storytelling mixed with science’ approach to education.

Alli was a recipient of the Telstra Best of Business Awards, Tasmanian winner, 2024 and is a regular contributor to online network ParentTV, and radio station ‘Vision Australia’.  She lives in the rainforest of Lutruwita and pays her deepest respect to the oldest continuing culture in the world, acknowledging that sovereignty of these lands, waterways and culture was never ceded.

Lila Kirtana

…discovered the yogic path in 2005, diving heart-first into three years of dedicated study as a Vedic nun in an ashram. Since completing her 500-hour yoga teacher training in 2007, she has devoted her life to teaching, mentoring, and sharing the wisdom of yoga. With over 15 years of experience as a senior teacher trainer and retreat leader—including 8 years at Byron Yoga Centre and the past decade at Krishna Village in Murwillumbah—Lila has guided and accredited more than 500 yoga teachers.

As the course creator and lead facilitator at Krishna Village Eco Yoga Centre since 2016, she blends traditional Hatha Yoga, Ayurveda, and Bhakti practices to create immersive, heart-centered learning experiences. Lila also teaches on prenatal teacher trainings and women’s wellness retreats across the Northern Rivers, and is a devoted advocate for holistic women’s health and environmental stewardship.

A devoted mother of two, Lila brings warmth, wisdom, and authenticity into everything she does. She holds a Diploma in Remedial Massage, has studied Ayurveda extensively both in Australia and during her travels to India, and blends her work with a rich understanding of yogic healing traditions.

Off the mat, Lila is the soulful lead singer of the Krishna Village kirtan band, playing harmonium and drum in regular community gatherings and festival performances. Her classes and workshops are infused with devotion, joy, and a deep reverence for the sacred. A passionate Bhakti yogi, Lila’s greatest inspiration is sharing the transformative power of yoga, chanting, and conscious living.
