Susan Kaiser Greenland

Susan Kaiser Greenland knows what it’s like to be a seeker in the real world. A trailblazer in teaching mindfulness to children, teens, parents, teachers, and practitioners, she’s spent a lifetime walking the talk in her own search for meaning and peace in a chaotic world.

Years ago, as a successful corporate attorney, she discovered the meditation practices that would change her life’s trajectory. Passionate about the benefits she saw in her own life, she believed that mindfulness-based strategies would not only help develop children’s social, emotional, and academic skills in school, but also help them grow up to be healthier, more fulfilled adults. What started as volunteering at the local Boys & Girls Club and public schools rapidly turned into Inner Kids–an activity-based model dedicated to teaching secular mindfulness and meditation in schools and community-based programs throughout Southern California and then the world. This is where she discovered a true knack for curating complex, powerful concepts into practices any child (or adult) could understand.

Since then, Susan has published books, given talks, recorded meditation collections, and created games, in addition to teaching these science-backed practices.
