Cara Lai spent most of her life trying to figure out how to be happy, or at least avoid total misery, which ultimately led her to spend the majority of her adulthood meditating. 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 a whole human come out through her vagina.
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 teens and adults at Spirit Rock, Insight Meditation Society, Inward Bound Mindfulness, 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 get free.
