It's Lovely to Meet You

Katie Pelusi,  Founder & Creative Director

Sangha Events grew from Katie's wish to combine her deep gratitude for yoga and her extensive international event management experience. One of the many blessings along this path has been the deep friendships she has developed through yoga and attending retreats around the globe. It is the community and connection that inspired the name, Sangha Events. 

In 2008 Katie began her career in event planning at bareMinerals. She oversaw National Artist events including upscale Master Classes, Customer Getaway Weekends, and multi-state bus tours. After a successful career in cosmetics, Katie wanted to expand her event management skills and has now worked for several cybersecurity companies. She managed worldwide trade shows, large corporate events, and multi-day industry conferences.  

Katie began her yoga journey in 2012 to ease her stress from working in the high-tech industry in California.  Four years later she attended a transformative yoga retreat. Having a curiosity and longing to understand the richness of yoga, Katie has studied sacred texts, taken yoga workshops, and completed her 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher trainings.

When not on her yoga mat, she enjoys gardening, reading, and hiking with her husband and their furkid, Bella. She is a world traveler having most recently visited India on a sacred pilgrimage.
