Adrian Baker is a meditation and plant medicine preparation and integration coach who became interested in Dharma (Buddhism), yoga and meditation when he moved to Thailand in 2010. After graduating from university in 2005, Adrian worked at the investment bank Goldman Sachs and then in political fundraising in DC before burning out and moving to Southeast Asia in hopes of finding a fresh start. 

After teaching history in middle and high school for five years, he decided to focus his efforts fully on studying and practicing meditation in a variety of spiritual traditions, primarily Buddhist and Shaiva Shakta Tantra. Though it seemed somewhat crazy given that he had just gone to graduate school for his Masters in Education, something deep inside told him that this was the most important thing that he could do with his life: to turn inward and understand the nature of his own heart and mind. It’s the most worthwhile thing that he’s ever done.

Adrian is a graduate of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, as well as 600 hours of yoga teacher trainings. He has spent extensive time practicing meditation on retreat. He has worked with psychedelics as a tool for personal growth for over 25 years. Adrian holds a Masters in Education from Stanford University, a Masters in Economic History from The London School of Economics and a BA in Africana Studies from Brown University.
