Guest Bio:

Hoda Mohajerani has synthesized over three decades of experience in women’s, environmental
and human rights advocacy; natural medicines, premium organic branding, fashion and music
production; into a systems-based, servant-leadership, to nurture and realize visions for people
and the planet.


A graduate from the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, Hoda’s academic
background spans sociology, literature, arabic and comparative religions. She has worked with
various ngo’s such as the Women’s Environmental Network, the UN, the Centre for the Study of
Democracy and has been a frequent guest on the BBC.


She has been described by those closest to her as a: Visionary Leader. Servant of Love. Critical
thinker and Compassionate Bullshit Slayer.


The many routes of Hoda’s personal “Silk Road” all eventually led to the founding of CHAKRA
CHAI: A regenerative, mission-driven company rooted in the five thousand year tradition of
Ayurveda. Their primary tagline “Conscious Nourishment for The Conscious Age“ hints at the
company’s fundamental principle: Consciousness is at the heart of our existence. Our

heightened (or reduced) access to Consciousness determines the realities that we experience-
individually and collectively.

Hoda says “we are not just another food and beverage brand. Chakra Chai is a vehicle for our
collective movement towards higher consciousness, reconnecting us to the sacred nature of
creation and food as a form of Communion.”
