Sarito Carroll

Sarito Carroll is a passionate storyteller and memoirist who, at nine years old, joined the tumultuous Osho Rajneesh movement in the late 1970s. With a unique perspective shaped by her experiences growing up within a spiritual community, Sarito’s writing explores the complexities of belonging, trauma, the struggle to break free from cultic ties, and the long journey toward self-acceptance.

Her debut memoir, In the Shadows of Enlightenment, captures her efforts to reconcile a past filled with both joy and pain, attachment and rage, as she seeks to reclaim her voice after decades of silence. Through themes of resilience, group dynamics, and self reflection, Sarito's work resonates with anyone who has faced an unconventional upbringing or childhood trauma.

Now residing in Boulder, Colorado, Sarito is committed to telling the truth, even when it may be painful for others. When not writing, she works as an acupuncturist and Realtor. Outside of work, she enjoys long walks, listening to music, and taking time to unplug from the world.
