We have community space where health and wellness are foremost and where individuals support each other in personal and emotional development.
At Shanti Bee love and respect for ourselves and each other are our guiding principles.
Shanti Bee does not aim to make lots of money, our aims lie in community growth, individual experiences and development and community collaborations.
For this reason, we rely on volunteers.
You may see some of these faces at the centre, others support from afar.

My name is Bekky and I have joined the team as the Friends of Shanti Bee Support Volunteer. Originally from the north-west, my studies and career were in health & social care. Since, I have spent alot of time travelling and learning about the world and myself. Now making Newcastle home, I am coming from a day job as a nanny & home-school helper! I am passionate about holistic health & wellness and love to meet new faces so please feel free to introduce yourself or contact me with any questions you may have or any information you need!
Lauren has been a Director of Shanti Bee since 2016. Her Gemini characteristics make her a super social bee!
Her experience in child development, holistic health in children and yoga drew her to supporting the development, which she continues to do today.
Viola volunteers at the centre as and when she can. As a trainee- Mindfulness practitioner her passion lies in facilitating, and hosting – so you will often catch Viola as social events. She support our accounts and administration.
