History

edit

Founded in 2009 by sisters Karen Stuth[3] and Susan Stuth, Satiama began as a large blog of articles, videos, meditations, and other types of related content. Satiama LLC was founded to offer tools to assist others to connect with and honor their true selves and true nature. Their mission is to increase respect, compassion, and love for one other and our planet, and to foster and cultivate our connection to something greater. They built the word ‘satiama’ to embody their purpose and vision, as follows:

Satiama, pronounced ‘sah-tee-ah-mah,’ is a word built from three core ideas.

Sat” is one the holiest words in Sanskrit, itself a sacred language. It translates as being, reality, truth, essence, soul, the best; it refers to the ultimate reality, and is also considered the self-conductor of everything. In the Pali language, the word “sati” usually carries the meaning of awareness or skillful attentiveness.

I Am — the center of Satiama’s name includes the I Am presence, the presence of Divine consciousness which is present in all living things, and that which invokes the higher or real self.  To Hindus, it is Brahma. Buddhists call it the Dharmakaya, while Christians think of it as God the Father.  The I Am presence is the pathway to the Divine for each of us.

A(h)” is the most natural sound to emerge from the mouth, a true vocalized sound, and one of the first sounds we make when we are born. The “ah” sound is part of nearly every form or name of God or a divine spirit, such as God, Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Yahweh or Yeshua, Eckankar, God, etc. This sound appears a significant three times in their company name. It is meant to embody the nature of all sources and forms of divinity.

Rather quickly they evolved to add publishing to their company mission, beginning with the top-selling Children’s Spirit Animal Cards by Dr. Steven Farmer, published in 2011. Today Satiama is owned and operated by Karen Stuth and Amy Koenig.  Their primary location is in Colorado, but as a fully online business they do not have a location available to the public.  Their primary website is at https://satiamapublishing.com.
