In January of 2018 Kari Kant started working with a boutique, holistic skincare company and a few months later found a small room for rent in the basement of an ashram in Bethesda, Maryland. And so began an unexpected introduction and study of traditional yoga, various prayers and rituals, alternative health and Ayurveda and traveling around Washington, D.C. and elsewhere in the United States with the owner of Skincando. She also served as a co-pilot from time to time for a community supported agriculture (CSA) affiliated with the ashram driving an old postal truck to and from organic and biodynamic farms located in Pennsylvania. After more than three years in Maryland she went to her home state of Alabama. In September of 2021 she began working with Attorney Lynn F. McConnell in family law and mediation. And in July of 2023 she became a receptionist at Fairhope Animal Clinic. Her free time is devoted to developing a deeper understanding of different types of spiritual practices, law and medicine which are major themes in her art.
From May of 2013 until January of 2017 Kant worked for Goldman Sachs as an assistant in the Office of Government Affairs in Washington. She was commissioned by the White House Historical Association to do a painting circa 2015 - 2016. In January of 2017 Gary Cohn asked her to serve as his assistant in the White House in the Executive Office of the President in the National Economic Council (NEC). A few weeks later she resigned from the NEC and decided to focus on art for a while with some of her work on display in the West Wing.
In August of 2004 Kant moved to Virginia and spent her first year and a half in Washington as a staff assistant in the U.S. Senate in the office of then Senator Jeff Sessions. In 2006 she was offered a job by Ed Rogers to be his assistant when he was Chairman of BGR Group, an international lobbying firm he co-founded. After departing BGR at the end of 2010 Kant became an assistant to former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Viet Dinh circa 2011 to 2012 when he was at Bancroft PLLC. She then worked for former U.S. Congressman Jim Nussle for a year as his assistant when he was President & COO at Growth Energy.
