Christian Carow was the owner of a successful marketing company, worked as a consultant, and was an assistant in group psychotherapy before he decided to radically change his life. He became a monk for one year in Khon Kaen, Thailand, where he then founded and became the spiritual leader of the Mindfulness Project. He is a meditation teacher and has studied alongside leading meditation experts like Jack Kornfield, Fred von Allem, and Thich Nhat Hanh. Since 2006 he has led meditation retreats in both Thailand and Germany. His goal is to provide a modern approach to contemplative practices by merging science with ancient wisdom. Christian addresses personal, social, and economic issues to lead people and the planet to a more fulfilling and sustainable future.
