In 1983, Alice founded the Shanti Anantam Ashram (later renamed Sai Anantam Ashram) in Agoura Hills, California. The multi-ethnic and multigenerational ashram served as a sanctuary for many prior to closing in 2017. Music served as the center of Alice’s practice; she brought together diverse styles and cultural traditions.
For composer Alice Coltrane (1937–2007), Afrofuturist interest in alternative realities resonated with the transformative power of music. In 1967, at age twenty-nine, the jazz pianist, organist, harpist, and singer lost her husband and musical partner, renowned saxophonist John Coltrane (1926–67). Left with four children to raise, Alice went on a deep spiritual journey to overcome her grief and consulted with the guru, Swami Satchidananda.
