Wild Calm
Shaped by my early years of living with the Polar Inuit in Greenland and a lifelong relationship with wild places, I offer immersive coaching, healing, creative workshops and nature-based retreats in Cornwall and online - this is Wild Calm.
I offer an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, listen deeply to one’s own wisdom and intuition, so that you can meet times of transition and uncertainty with groundedness, curiosity and gentle resilience.
If you’re you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or stressed and are longing for a more spacious way of living — with a feeling of alignment, ease and meaning — this work offers a place to develop compassionate awareness of where you are in your life and what you need, heal, and come back to what’s truly important to you.

WHO AM I?
If we haven't yet met, I am Kari — an internationally published author, artist, speaker and mindfulness guide whose work has been shaped by a lifelong relationship with wild places.
Taken to live in Northwest Greenland as a young child by my polar explorer father, I spent my earliest years with a remote Inuit community. There, I learned the importance of right relationship with the natural world — and the power of what it is to be fully present in each moment.
I have travelled ever since. I trained as an artist, became a travel writer and photojournalist, and went on to found the independent publishing company Polarworld, producing beautifully crafted books on exploration and visual culture, latterly with an emphasis on the forgotten contribution of some incredible women in the world of exploration and art.
Over time, my work has evolved at the meeting point of story, creativity, nature and mindful awareness. I have authored six books published internationally, I exhibit my artwork and I speak for institutions, universities and prestigious cultural and public events.
A deep respect for Inuit culture and their connected way of living has remained a guiding thread throughout my life. Alongside this, meditation, mindfulness, essential oils and embodied healing practices have been part of my personal path for over thirty years.
Today, as a certified practitioner and guide across multiple modalities, my one-to-one and group work is rooted in slowing down, listening deeply to both nature and one’s inner knowing, and creating space for meaningful growth and transformation. I support others to reconnect with their soul’s desires and what truly matters to them in an increasingly fast-moving world.
