About Us

  • The Śānti Foundation was created by Danny and Samantha Hammon, a husband-and-wife team who share a deep commitment to peace, spirituality, and community. Their journey began with personal reflection and a desire to bring greater meaning into daily life, not only for themselves, but for others seeking connection and stillness in a fast-moving world.

    Together, Danny and Samantha bring complementary strengths: vision and structure on one hand, compassion and creativity on the other. Their partnership reflects the very values the Foundation stands for, balance, harmony, and unity.

  • To cultivate a world where peace, love, and oneness guide our lives, creating communities rooted in compassion, acceptance, and spiritual awakening.

  • The Śānti Foundation exists to:

    • Explore and share wisdom from diverse faiths and philosophies.

    • Create spaces for reflection, connection, and growth.

    • Inspire practices that bring harmony into everyday life.

    • Foster unity and understanding across cultures and traditions.

    • Peace (Śānti): We honour inner stillness as the foundation of outer harmony.

    • Love (Prema): Compassion and kindness are at the heart of all we do.

    • Oneness (Advaita): We embrace unity beyond divisions of faith, culture, or background.

    • Authenticity (Satya): We act with honesty, transparency, and integrity.

    • Service (Seva): We dedicate our work to uplifting others and serving the greater good.

  • At the heart of the Śānti Foundation is our Temple Dome, a space designed for reflection, meditation, and gathering. More than a physical structure, the Dome is a symbol of openness and oneness. Its circular form embodies unity, while its simplicity invites quiet contemplation.

    Here, individuals and groups are welcomed to pause, reconnect, and experience peace, within themselves and in community with others. It is our sanctuary, and the spiritual home of the Śānti Foundation

  • The Śānti Foundation is more than an organisation — it is a community, a sanctuary, and a movement of hearts and minds. Together, we are exploring new ways to live with greater awareness, connectedness, and purpose.
