Susan Kaiser Greenland (born October 1, 1956) is an American author and teacher of mindfulness and meditation, practicing a state of present-moment awareness to develop overall attentiveness and social/emotional skills.
This technique is now practiced in American schools throughout the country to help children learn how to reduce and alleviate their stress levels.
[7] In 1993, a family crisis prompted her to seek alternative methods of reducing stress, which resulted in her meditation studies with teachers from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition since 1997.
During her volunteer work she developed the Inner Kids program, a hybrid of classical mindfulness and meditation practices that she adapted for children and families.
She currently works in the United States and abroad as an author, public speaker,[9] and educator on the subject of sharing secular mindfulness and meditation with children and families.
