Clare Morin is a writer, editor, content marketer and meditator. She lives in the woods of Maine in the United States. Much of her personal writing charts the movements of the seasons and the forest in which she lives, as well as the inner workings of her mind. Since 2004, Clare has been studying Buddhism with the New Kadampa Tradition, and its teachings deeply inform her daily life. These writings sometimes appear in her blog. 

Clare was born in the northwest of England. When she as two years old, her teacher mother and architect father moved the family to Hong Kong. She spent much of her 20s trying to get to know real Hong Kong—beyond the expat bubble she had grown up in. This took the form of her becoming an arts writer and working full time for HK Magazine and the South China Morning Post newspaper as well as founding art editor of Time Out Hong Kong. In 2009, Clare moved to the United States with her Mainer husband. They took up residence in the pine forests north of Portland, Maine. In the decade since, she has worked as a publicist with authors and artists and as a content marketing strategist. She has also become deeply familiar with the ever-shifting seasons of New England, which she now calls home.
