Our Story
Our shared belief in the power of mindfulness to unleash the human potential and improve mental health inspired us to launch Mahara. From years of personal experience in journaling, meditating, breath work, energy healing, psychedelics and forest bathing, we came to deeply understand the immense healing power of a lifestyle rooted in mindfulness.
After leaving our decade long corporate careers, we started Mahara in early 2020. Our goal is to create meaningful products and experiences that offer people a stepping-stone into a world of mindful practices and personal transformation. Our community is comprised of curious, high achievers who are driven to live with intention. And chances are, if you’re reading this, you are too!
