Over my decades-long career I’ve taught adults, university students, those in at-risk youth programs, and students in public and independent schools. My meditation practice started in 1993 in the lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh. More recently, I’ve been involved in the Insight LA community, where I’m completing the adult Facilitator Training and I’m also a Certified Mindful Schools Instructor. In 2017 I was contracted to write a mindfulness curriculum for POPS The Club, a national high school club for teens affected by incarceration, and I serve on their Advisory Council. I have an MFA from California State University, Long Beach, and my studio practice as a visual artist (see katesavageart.com) enhances my teaching of art in much the same way that my meditation practice informs my teaching of mindfulness.
