The Angry Buddhist

In this talk, Cari explores anger not as something to suppress or fear, but as a powerful teacher. She shows how meeting our deepest anger with curiosity can reveal hidden truths about who we are, dissolve layers of conditioning, and ultimately expand our capacity for compassion and wise action.
Holidays Off the Cushion

Cari explores ways to take the power of your practice into the most challenging arenas and times, focusing on:
Somatic awareness as a gateway to finding more peace and ease during the holidays
Right speech and how it manifests when we disagree- from “inner mission” to “intermission” and healthy communications
Practicing deep gratitude but particularly when we are in question of life’s purpose.
