Kate Davies has been drawn to meditation since she was a child and received her first formal meditation instructions in her early twenties. However, it wasn’t until she was in her 40s that she started a daily Buddhist meditation practice. Initially, she studied in the Tibetan tradition, and then transitioned to Insight meditation. At this point, she has been practicing for about 20 years.
Kate is deeply committed to practicing, studying, and teaching meditation. She established and led the Whidbey Island Insight Meditation Group. She is also a Mentor for The Power of Awareness course, was in Spirit Rock’s Community Dhamma Leader 6 Program, and is a graduate of the Sati Center’s Buddhist Chaplaincy Program. One of her greatest pleasures in life is accompanying folks on their spiritual journeys. She is a compassionate listener, a dedicated teacher, and offers practical guidance. She lives on beautiful Whidbey Island in Washington State with her husband, George. (katedavies.org)
