Kristina Baré

Kristina Baré, MFT, SEP, was introduced to buddhist meditation as a young girl by her father who teaches in the Zen buddhist tradition. She has practiced in the insight meditation tradition since 2009. After 6 months of silent retreat practice in 2019/2020, she was invited into a 4 year dharma teacher training process by her primary teacher Marcia Rose. She is currently being mentored by Marcia, and other insight meditation teachers, to teach retreats in the vipassana tradition.

Kristina has primarily trained in the Ven. Pa Auk tradition the last years with a focus on Anapanasati, the four Brahma-Viharas and mindfulness of the body. She has a special interest in supporting meditation students wishing to cultivate focused attention, tranquility and well-being as a support for deepening insight.
