Hunter talks to Sumi Loundon Kim about Deepening Spirituality Together.

What do you do if you want to bring a mindfulness-minded spirituality to your children? Sumi Loundon Kim has answered that question with “Sitting Together.”

Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. People outside of religion need a sense of meaning and belonging that spiritual connection provides. 2. The “two for one deal” — It’s more important to work on your own development than your child’s. 3. How to teach your child to regulate emotions.

Sumi Loundon Kim is a Buddhist chaplain at Duke University and a minister for the Mindful Families of Durham.Originally brought up in a Soto Zen community in the 70s, Sumi has been a student of the Insight tradition since her teens. She is the author of two books, Blue Jean Buddha (2001) and The Buddha’s Apprentices (2005), and her mindfulness curriculum, Sitting Together.
