Carla Burns

Carla Burns is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Naropa University, where she leads the MA Contemplative Psychotherapy residential retreat programs. She also consults for the Center for the Advancement of Contemplative Education, designing and facilitating programs and trainings, and contributes to Naropa’s Compassion Initiative. Specializing in the integration of corporeal, elemental, and spatial knowledge, her work explores how these practices can enhance everyday awareness. Carla’s research and teaching focus on embodied practices that connect personal and collective liberation, aiming to transform expansive views of enlightenment into practical, everyday freedom.
