Lara Wilson, a writer, teacher and 40-year meditator, devotes her life to exploring the intersection of mindful wellbeing, inclusive storytelling and nature immersion. Intent to share the meditative practices that helped her through years of breast cancer treatment, she established the mindful wellness educational collaborative Be Well Be Here, a 501c3 nonprofit whose embodied practitioners offer trauma-informed mindful wellness practices, creative wellbeing BEtreats and inclusive community outreach. Lara has co-created mindful wellness practices with cancer patients, struggling students, teachers, parents, school communities, young athletes, disabled individuals, architects, celebrated authors, medical professionals, bankers, CEOs, children, artists - even horses. She serves as Curator of the Concord Festival of Authors and was a decade-long master fiction teacher and board member at Grub Street. Lara holds a Master's Degree in English & American Literature from Harvard, a Graduate Certificate in Mindfulness Studies from Lesley University, and certification in Restorative Yoga (RYT-200) and Reiki Level II.
