Insight Tradition
Kate Duncan has been practising and studying Buddhist meditation since 2007 when, after reading Jack Kornfield’s book the Wise Heart, she went to India to sit her first retreat. Upon returning home she discovered she lived three hours from Spirit Rock Meditation Centre, which soon became her second home. Kate was influenced deeply by many Spirit Rock teachers, including being mentored by Heather Sundberg, until she returned to Australia in 2015. There she found Alan Bassal, who became her mentor and dear friend. Kate’s Dharma is deeply influenced by her love and study of yoga philosophy and her years as a Firefighter and Paramedic. Kate’s work has a focus on trauma awareness, safety, and integrating kindness and compassion into practice. She co-wrote and facilitates the transformative Mindfulness-based Trauma Recovery and Prevention program for Frontline Workers with her Dharma friend and colleague Lisa Brown. With a focus on sharing dharma that is relatable, understandable, pragmatic and relevant, Kate is currently co-founding Sky Sangha- a weekly online gathering for emerging meditators in Australia, offering teachings and discussion on the Buddha's wisdom for modern times. When not travelling, Kate facilitates Insight Retreats in the Adelaide area and offers various mindfulness and yoga programs online and around the country. |
“My aspiration is to share Dharma that serves as a gentle refuge in the midst of our busy- often overwhelming- modern word, offering teachings that ease confusion and plant seeds of kindness. |
