Short Bio


Sita Rose is an actress, independent filmmaker, and fantasy author from the coastal town Margaret River, Western Australia, with a Nordic heritage. When she’s not writing, reading, or conjuring absurd ideas into films with her brother, Sita can be found swimming, hiking, sauna / ice bathing, practicing yoga, and ideally exploring new places and cultures — with a preference for snowy mountains, remote villages, and giant fjords.

A Personal Note


I cannot remember a time of my life that was not governed by a longing to understand the mysteries of existence. My interests in philosophy, psychology & history evolved into an exploration of ancient practices that can unveil expanded experiences of consciousness. For me, this has included martial arts, meditation, painfully honest self-inquiry, several years of mentorship at a monastery, & the most powerful teacher I've yet discovered; Silence.

A ‘mysterious’ chronic illness that began when I was a teenager and plagued my life for a decade, developing into a debilitating disease before finally receiving a diagnosis, has been one of life's most profound blessings-in-disguise. It forced me to stop, gifting me time to absorb the wisdom hidden in books, films, silence and ancient philosophies, provoking an inward journey that continues to deepen and enrich my faith.

But not all must face illness or tragedy to realize we might be actualizing a fraction of our potential. 

My books, films, and blog are created for all who sense a richer existence available, & long to embody it.

Love, Sita
