Siddhi is a Sanskrit word for 'perfection of mind' or 'attainment of success'. The concept is usually applied in describing metaphysical powers one may obtain through the disciplined practice of yoga. Siddhi Life Designs is the working face of LeVar Carter, who offers his services as an artist and teacher to bring his client's lives closer to their desired state. Be that in learning how to eat a better diet, how to condition the body towards a healthier state of being, how to change how one sees one's self, or how to have fuller appreciation of relationships and sexuality, together we may accomplish great things.
Visualizing a better world is the first step to actually living in one. Through the arts, be they yogic, culinary, visual, healing or otherwise, one can tap into the limitless creative potential lying dormant within and manifest whatever one wishes. A world unified in love and compassion can be ours for the living, if we simply allow for it. The time has come, we can do this. We can live a siddhi life.
In the pages that follow, you can find some examples of my work. I am a professional artist, teacher and healer based in the central Virginia area. I have many years of experience in my areas of expertise and continue to learn and grow everyday. I have worked with people of all walks of life, from youth detainees to privileged elites. My passion lies in finding solutions to the problems people encounter in a modality that they will actually be able to live out. Meet the person where they are at, then move together to where they would like to be.
I am available for individual life coaching and healing, workshops, classes, performances, private catering, murals, interior/landscape/garden design and feng shui, portrait commissions, writing and illustrating for publication, public speaking engagements and collaboration with all others working to bring more Light into the world at this time. Though I am currently based in the central Virginia area, I love to travel and will consider offers from any region of the world.
LeVar Carter is an artist and
teacher based in Chesterfield, Virginia. Versed in many crafts
including Tantra yoga, the visual,culinary and movement arts, intuitive
bodywork and massage, organic gardening and natural healing, he
passionately shares his knowledge along multiple pathways.
Blessed with the gift of many great teachers along the years, LeVar
has a BFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design,
where he also began his yoga and Reiki 1 studies with Ellen Farrell;
and is an initiate of the Mahamritunjaya mantra from Aaron Star and the
brotherhood stretching back to the Shivates of India, which was received at the culmination of a teachers training course 100 hr in the rain-forests of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
He began teaching with Darren Main in San Francisco, and has been
teaching art, yoga, cooking and life skills to children of all ages all over the US
from Maine with Camp Med-o-lark to California with The Imagine Bus
Project, before returning to Virginia to be closer to his greatest
teachers: his family. Grandmother Wojcik has been his spiritual and
healing elder since childhood, guiding him to the best of medicinal
herbs and lifestyle choices, and from his parents he learned the art of
nurturing plants to grow.
LeVar is dedicated to the Tantric belief that all of our lives are
sacred, and through attentive appreciation, any moment is the most
precious. With an open heart and open mind, all may be accomplished.
Simply open the eye and see the beauty in all people, all sights, all
sounds, all touches, all tastes and all smells.
Through Siddhi Life Designs, he is available to consult in all
matters, personal or public, for all entities, individual or

We can do this together, if we simply allow for it.
