Cara Van Der Bauwede is a writer, artist, and visionary guide whose work bridges the realms of spirit, beauty, and transformation. Through her words and creations, she invites readers to remember the sacred within the ordinary—to see that heaven is not elsewhere, but here, in the textures of daily life.

Born in the mountains of North Carolina and now living in France, Cara’s voice carries both the grounded wisdom of the Earth and the refined stillness of European simplicity. Her work draws from more than fifteen years of teaching yoga and exploring consciousness, as well as from her own near-death experience as a teenager—a moment that opened her to the luminous connection between life and what lies beyond.

Her first book, Mama Goddess Glow, was written in the quiet hours of early motherhood—a poetic guide that helps women reconnect to their radiance and self-trust. Her forthcoming book, Hope for the Dreamers, expands this vision, weaving science, mysticism, and story into a seven-chapter journey through the chakras—a map for awakening the dreamers of our time.

Across her writing, art, and teachings, Cara’s message remains clear: we are luminous beings remembering our light. Her creations are invitations—to slow down, to listen deeply, and to live as love.

You can find her hand in hand with her husband and daughters—singing, playing in the garden, or exploring the world together
