On Saturday, December 13th @ 11AM, Women Hold Up Half the Sky will be interviewing Kate Janke, a local Dharma teacher. Mindfulness practice has been at the core of Kate’s life since 2004. Her teaching style and techniques stem from traditional Buddhist meditation and philosophies, coupled with secular mindfulness methods and applications. Kate started teaching mindfulness in the Oakland schools in 2008 for Mindful Schools. She soon after became the Director of Training and developed mindfulness training programs for educators, parents, psychologists, and health care providers. In 2012, Kate started Heart-Mind Education to continue developing her work in the classrooms as well as direct training to faculties. In her career, she has had the privilege of teaching mindful awareness and compassion to over 2000 K-12 students and about 2500 professionals working with kids. Kate is also a co-founder of Compassionate Leaders Bay Area and part of the Spirit Rock/ Insight Medication Society Teacher Training. We will be talking about her life, her work, and a recent retreat on women and meditation that she lead at Spirit Rock.
