Everyday Mindfulness
Bringing mindfulness into your everyday life goes beyond sitting meditation. Mindfulness may be cultivated during everyday activities such as conversations, eating, and walking.

Hi, I'm Kim
I am a long time practitioner of meditation and a certified Meditation Instructor teaching Mindfulness based practices. My meditation journey begin in 1986 in the Zen tradition of concentration meditation. Since then, I have studied Mindfulness meditation, Insight meditation (shamatha- vipashyana), open-monitoring meditation, and loving kindness/ self-compassion meditation (Metta). I have mentored hundreds of students, and in my meditation instruction, I combine both depth of practice with practical tools for growth.
What really qualifies me to teach meditation is that I have learned, first hand, the real life benefits that meditation can bring, as I have struggled at times to push through the muddy margins of life toward growth and peace. Most of all, perhaps, I know the value of keeping a beginner's mind.
