Kate Munding
Kate Munding sits on the Spirit Rock Teacher Council and is the guiding teacher for Assaya Sangha, a women’s Buddhist meditation community-based in the San Francisco East Bay. Along with teaching retreats and daylong at Spirit Rock and other retreat centers, Kate is a teacher for Spirit Rock’s Family Days and Family Retreats.
In addition to her Dharma teaching, Kate has been a mindfulness educator in schools since 2008. She is the co-founder and main teacher for Now Children. Now Children is a unique online learning environment designed to network, train, and provide professional development to educators and mindfulness teachers who want to bring mindfulness-based curriculum to kids. This work’s nexus is based on the belief that mindfulness is not just a bandaid but a transformative technique that can help steer future generations towards a more conscious and compassionate future.
When she’s not teaching, Kate loves being mom to her young son. She lives with her family in the San Francisco East Bay.
