Cara Lai

Cara Lai once worked as a psychotherapist, social worker, and wilderness guide, but traded it in for an all-out mindfulness rampage. She is authorized to teach in the Theravada Buddhist Lineage through IMS/Spirit Rock, and she teaches at centers across the country, for Ten Percent Happier, Hatch Sleep, and more. She’s explored what it means to be alive through many adventures in consciousness, including a full year of solitary retreat, living with chronic illness, and having two whole humans come out through her vagina. Cara lives with her husband and their two young children in northern Vermont.
