LISA REINHARDT

After traveling in the Himalayas for 11 years, living in monasteries and doing a retreat in a cave, Lisa Reinhardt came back to the US to share what she'd learned about meditation. After an a-ha moment eating chocolate, however, things took a delicious turn.

Now, as founder of Wei of Chocolate, Lisa delights in awakening people to the joy of eating chocolate every day, free from guilt. Realizing what differentiates healthy chocolate from candy, she shows how daily chocolate is a path to wellness, as well as a method to bring the peace of meditation effortlessly into our modern, busy lifestyle.
