Gina Gardiner & Friends with Haseena Patel

Meet Haseena

Haseena Patel is South African by birth, a global citizen at heart, and a Truth-Walker through personal evolution. A benign fibroadenoma in her breast was the impetus for the birth of her book, The Truth-Walker’s Journey: The UN-Becoming of Who You Are Not. As a conscious entrepreneur, healing-edge coach, medical intuitive, Akashic Records reader and sound healer, Haseena’s bio-individualised modalities support healing to Peace in mind, body and spirit. Her most recent initiative, Healing-edge Conversations, launched in 2025, supports collective healing to Peace. 

Being deeply influenced by growing up non-white in Apartheid South Africa, she has felt called to empower girls and young women worldwide through heart-centered leadership programs – together with her sister, Haseena co-founded their non-profit, Leave No Girl Behind International. She is co-creator of the Bubbles Beyond Borders global campaign to inspire peace through female empowerment.  

Haseena is part of The Hague Center for Global Governance, Innovation and Emergence, speaking, facilitating, and contributing to events such as World Unity Week, Peace Week, Bridging Continents weekly calls, Humanity’s Team Global Oneness Summit, Living Cities Earth Future Leaders Project, and other projects that contribute to a unitive way of collective BE-ing. She is also a certified Deeptime leader and poet.

I grew up non-white in Apartheid South Africa. I was raised Muslim and I attended a Catholic school run by a group of Dominican Sisters. It was the only private school in our town and definitely the only multiracial school. It was here that I learned what respect, ONE-ness and Love truly meant – the nuns embodied this.

When I was in Grade 1, our teacher, Sr. Maureen, would start the day with a prayer, asking which student wanted to share a prayer. One morning, an eager classmate raised her hand. Like me, she was Indian South African. She was Hindu. When she asked if she could pray in her own religion, Sr. Maureen taught us true inclusivity as she replied, “Yes, of course. Let’s all bow our heads and close our eyes.”

Then came the time when uncomfortable and hurtful words were spoken by a student: “Non-Christians go to hell.” Two of my Christian classmates, burning with feelings of the injustice that was being inflicted on their non-Christian school mates, reported the student to the nun who was the junior school principal. She didn’t sweep it under the rug. She continued to create a space of Love and righted the wrong.

We sang many hymns and songs – the one that spoke volumes was called, When I needed a neighbor. 

The lyrics of the last verse read:

“When you need a neighbor, I’ll be there, I’ll be there, when you need a neighbor I’ll be there.

And the creed and the color and the name won’t matter, when you need a neighbor I’ll be there.”
