Monica Graves Garcia
/Wellness Speaker | Mind Body Coach | International Retreat Host | Founder, Soulbare
Hi there, I'm Monica. The woman behind this Soulbare mission.
This work - this path - found me in early 2008 when I least expected it. Through a series of synchronistic events (that Iād love to share with you over a cuppa some day!), I found myself transitioned from a Marketing + Management career into the world of consciousness-based wisdom traditions and soulful self-discovery.
I spent over 6 years as a Vedic Educator, Retreat Host and Program Manager with The Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad, CA., where I received certifications in Meditation, Yoga and Ayurveda under the direct mentorship of Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. David Simon and many other renowned visionaries. I had the immense fortune of honing my teaching skills at the Center for years, with guests from all over the world.
In 2015, I launched Soulbare, sold nearly all my belongings, and moved to Central America to study Mayan cultural traditions.
I realized this deep desire to weave together ancient health and wellbeing practices from both sides of the globe and set out to learn just how to do so.
Now, I live home-free as an Intentional Nomad and travel the world to facilitate wellbeing-centered conference curriculum, sacred adventure retreats and transformational health + wellness workshops.
I'm on a simple - yet profound - mission to inspired healthy, whole vibrant living within every human that I meet!
