Since suffering a miscarriage at a women’s retreat, Tara Brach has been on a mission to reform the world of meditation, and now she's the go-to spiritual guru for celebrities like Naomi Watts.
Tara Brach was four months pregnant when she miscarried at a women’s retreat in Española, New Mexico. She was 30 and had spent the last eight years as a devoted member of 3HO, a community promising spiritual awakening.
The loss devastated her. She believed that extensive physical activity in the desert summer heat might have contributed to her miscarriage, so she wrote a note to her spiritual leader, Yogi Bhajan, suggesting they exercise care with pregnant women in the future.
