Exploring the power of story, creativity and mindful presence

I write books on adventure, art and extraordinary women, speak internationally on exploration and wonder, and lead experiences that invite deeper connection to self, story and wild places.

My way of working offers space to slow down, listen deeply, and meet times of transition with groundedness, curiosity and gentle resilience.

If life currently feels fast and fractured — or blocked and unfulfilling — and you sense there is more to it than constant busyness or repeating familiar patterns, you’re not alone. If you’re you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or numb — longing for a more spacious way of living, with a feeling of alignment, ease and meaning — this work offers a place to pause and listen more deeply.

If this resonates, take your time exploring what’s here, and how I might support you.

You’re welcome to book a session directly via the shop if you’d like to begin straight away — or book a 10 minute connection call to see if we’re a good fit.

Who am i?

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 quiet power of being 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 history, culture 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 (see my art at kariherbertart.com), 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 and creating space for meaningful reflection. I support others to reconnect with their inner knowing, restore balance, and remember what truly matters in an increasingly fast-moving world.
