Cara Barker

Dr. Cara Lee Barker is a Visionary and Artist of Life who has spent over 50 years supporting the process of Post Traumatic Growth, helping thousands of adults and children internationally transform their secret suffering into greater strength, joyful living, and purposeful direction. Combining nearly 50 years of clinical practice in nursing (ARNP), clinical psychology, and Jungian analysis, she has coined her unique approach 'Medicinal Creations' — a process of excavating healing symbols within dreaming, body symptoms, and meaningful coincidences for the purpose of living more whole-heartedly. Her work focuses on what she calls 'the Way of Soul,' aligning life with what nourishes body and soul.

Dr. Barker is the author of multiple books, including 'World Weary Woman: Her Wound and Transformation' (Inner City Books Jungian Studies series), 'Heart-Led Living: The 4 Cornerstones to Building a Better Life,' 'Nightlight: Soul Calling, Body Listening, Heart Speaking,' 'The Love Project: Coming Home,' and 'The Artist as Poet.' She is also a featured writer in 'Saying Goodbye to Our Mothers for the Last Time' (2016) and a contributor to the Huffington Post.

An international keynote speaker, Dr. Barker has coached over 100,000 individuals through retreats and workshops. She teaches practical tools for creating meaningful answers to life's challenges by unearthing guidance through dreams, body symptoms, and synchronicities, helping clients build an actionable blueprint for their next steps grounded in deep personal wisdom.
