Kristina Baré, MFT, SEP
Kristina Baré is an Insight Meditation teacher. Her teaching is shaped by integration of vipassanā (insight) and the brahmavihāras—lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. She draws from the Burmese lineages of Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw (insight) and Ven. Pa Auk Sayadaw (samādhi). She guides Insight Meditation retreats across North America, including annual mettā-vipassanā retreats. Prior to focusing on teaching, she trained as a clinical psychologist, therapist, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner. That background informs her embodied and patient approach.
