After traveling in the Himalayas for 11 years, living in monasteries and doing retreat in a cave, Lisa Reinhardt came back to the US to share what she’d learned about meditation only to discover that it would take another 16 years before mindfulness became a thing. After an a-ha moment eating chocolate, things took a delicious turn and she started an organic chocolate company to subversively teach meditation by enticing people to let the chocolate melt slowly in their mouths.
