Lara JK Wilson, MA, GMCS, a 35-year meditator and award-winning short story writer, devotes her life to exploring the intersection of personal narrative and mindful well-being. After more than a decade teaching master fiction workshops and serving on the board at Grub Street in Boston, she took a Great Pause to battle stage III breast cancer for 18 months. This meaningful journey prompted Lara to establish Be Well Be Here, a non-profit mindful wellness educational collaborative in Concord, which offers personalized programming, community outreach and well-being retreats. Lara holds a master’s degree in English and American literature and a graduate certificate in mindfulness studies, as well as RYT-200 (yoga) and Reiki Level II designations. Currently, she serves on the board of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, where she organizes the Authors Series and Mindfulness Programming. In January 2019, Lara was appointed curator of the Concord Festival of Authors. For more information, please visit BeWellBeHere.org
