About Cheri

Cheri Shanti aka Cheri Lunn, has been creating, organizing and facilitating unique, and transformational experiences for people across the world for the past 15 years. Her focus is on Spirituality, Community, Health, Wellness, and Self Empowerment thru Creative Expression. As a professional musician and percussionist, she uses drumming and music making as tools for this work. She incorporates mindfulness practices into her work in a very non-obtrusive and subtle way that allows for an unfolding of what is present within each person naturally.

Currently, she is developing programs for women to connect more deeply with nature as an ally for healing and self exploration and development. Her passion is to share her own journey with others in the knowingness that we all share basic human experiences and we can learn from each other when we are open to sharing the journey.

Cheri has a unique ability to create musical experiences that surpass a standard “performance.” She actively involves the audience and creates a musical experience that invites participation, play and interaction, and intentionally brings elements of ceremony and shamanism into her Performance work.

She is the Musical Director for the Magical Mystical Muse as well as the Open Floor Experiences in Boulder, CO and The Muse of Turiya Ensemble, a Boulder based band. Cheri organizes, promotes and directs events for the band and other groups in the Boulder area. She is a talented and joyful entertainer to be in the presence of bringing a feeling of community, love and celebration to any group.
