EXPERIENTIAL SERVICES
Ethos
I am a leader in the global wellness community. I am devoted to creating an all encompassing Yogic lifestyle. There is no doubt whatsoever, that I am doing my dharma. My life's work is to bring community together through movement, music, food, human connection and shared experience.
I create activations and environments that give a sense of home. I host experiences which bring people together with whom you feel you've lived lifetimes with. I curate and produce wellness programs for international music festivals. I've taught crowds of 300+ at larger events and served smaller communities closer to home.
I curate experiences that provide people with a deep sense of comfort while encouraging them to step outside their comfort zone, expanding into limitless possibility.
I am a community architect.

Testimonials
Omigod, the food was exquisite! I had no real expectations, but was BLOWN AWAY! The presence of people with many different levels of Yoga proficiency made me feel more comfortable going at my own pace as needed.
Socially, the participants from multiple countries and varying backgrounds also deepened the collective experience.
~Jeffrey B. Director of Laughter Yoga Institute
The way Kari and the whole team facilitate community is special. I felt cared for the entire time in every way. I was looking to reconnect with myself and my yoga practice. I was able to do that through a full mind, body and spirit connection. I left with practical tools, comfort and confidence to apply to my life. Kari’s commitment to each individual was palpable. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to carve out space to be contemplative, physically and spiritually nourished, and set forth goals that feel attainable and rewarding. Thank you!
~Mandy H. Professor at USC, Wellness Enthusiast
Kari is a gift. If you’re lucky enough to have her on your team, she is that person that will actually make your production life easier and bring value to your event. She just gets you instantly, like we knew each other and worked together for years. Production and wellness are Kari’s element. She is the one you can trust and delegate a big chunk of work to. She will never make you feel like 'I would do it better and faster myself'. She embodies her role and next thing you see, it’s done and she is looking where else she can support the team. I loved working with Kari and loved our moments when we just look at each other in the craziness of production and we know there are no words needed. Instead, we are just laughing :)
~Valya K. Reactor Venao, Executive Producer
Kari’s swag, charisma and vibe is icing on the cake. Not only did Kari deliver an amazing wellness program for Don’t Trip Campout, she made it the highlight of the festival. The program offered unique and creative ideas that kept our guests engaged and inspired to return to the real world with a better sense of self. 10/10 I will always recommend Kari as a great business partner and even better human being!
~Eric B. Don’t Trip Campout, Co-Founder
Kari puts every ounce of herself physically, mentally, and emotionally into leading the experiences she curates. Her magnetism and drive attracts and motivates a cohesive team to facilitate an all-encompassing event that enables guests to feel enriched, recharged and inspired. Being a part of these productions in various capacities has enabled me to discover and expand aspects of myself that allow me to fully show up in service to others. There is no greater joy than the opportunity to be a part of this collective transformation.
