Karl Baker

Karl co-teaches silent mindfulness meditation retreats at Sangsurya with Stephen Archer. He has practiced mindfulness and meditation for over 22 years.

He is the founder of Mindfulness Works, leading a team of mindfulness teachers and created the Mindfulness Works Introduction to
Mindfulness and Meditation course, which over 40,000 people have completed.

Karl’s approach emphasises trusting your own authority. His retreats have a strong focus on love, acceptance and compassion. Karl sees our humanity as a vehicle for awakening, rather than a barrier. He is trauma informed, and calls upon modern psychology in his offerings.

Karl loves simple, dogma and technique free meditation practices and teaches from a context that always honours our own inherent OKness, inviting use to experience this here and now.

His retreats have a stripped back approach, encouraging you to trust your own experience, allowing your inner teacher to flourish, facilitating insight, depth and a tacit sense of presence and unconditional love.

Karl’s retreats are suitable for absolute beginners as well as those with meditation and retreat experience.
