Cara Lai spent most of her life trying to figure out how to be happy, or at least avoid total misery, which ultimately led to her spending the majority of her adulthood meditating. She’s explored the wild beauty of the human experience through many adventures in consciousness, including long retreats, chronic illness, and the profound experiences of childbirth and motherhood. Cara once worked as an artist, wilderness guide, social worker and psychotherapist, but traded it in for an all-out mindfulness rampage. She’s a working mom whose teaching is relatable, authentic, funny and sometimes crass, and is accessible for many people. She teaches at Spirit Rock, Insight Meditation Society, and Ten Percent Happier; ultimately hoping to get woke enough to bend spoons with her mind in front of large audiences. And to help everyone awaken.
