As a human rights lawyer for the United Nations, Amandine Roche worked for more than 20 years in conflict zones under challenging circumstances.

After the kidnapping and assassination of her colleagues Amandine Roche, writer and UN Peace Keeper was evacuated from Afghanistan.

She recovered and found her inner peace in India where she took up yoga and meditation, living in close quarters with spiritual masters who teach the essence of non-violence. While she focused on her own self healing, she realized that the practice of non violence was not only the best way for her to achieve a happy and harmonious life, but it was also the only way for Afghanistan and the whole world. She returned to Kabul to create the Amanuddin Foundation in order to promote the culture of peace and non violence, and to develop in Afghanistan yoga and meditation, which are the tools of non-violence.

Amandine has been described as a captivating storyteller whose truthful narrative raise the level of consciousness, inspires people to leave people broken open and inspired to act and commit.

She's been a featured speaker at TEDx Berkeley, Google, United Nations, Principia University & more.
