Our Journey

Founder Shannon Sheedy created The Dharma Door after spending a year travelling in India and Nepal with her husband, Mick. The plight of Tibetan refugees motivated her to return to Australia in 2004 and design The Dharma Door’s first product – a reinterpretation of the culture’s traditional fabric prayer bag, now fondly known as The Everything Pouch.

Recognising that she was making the biggest impact by placing ongoing orders, Shannon then searched throughout the region for new products and people to work with. The journey took her to Bangladesh; the timeless craft of woven jute; and a wonderful not-for-profit NGO group who genuinely supported its artisans through training and fair wages.

Based in their home studio in the beautiful hills surrounding Byron Bay, Australia, the couple now work together with a global team to replicate this approach across continents.   

Robert & Lise Guilford have an innate appreciation of Scandinavian style. As long-time supporters of the business, they were particularly attracted to being able to positively contribute to the well being of the artisans and their communities. Based in Denmark, they have been introducing the natural materials and palette of The Dharma Door products to the European market since 2016.
