Achariya Doug Duncan & Catherine Pawasarat

Achariya Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat are passionately committed to support beings who aspire to spiritual awakening in this lifetime, and to leveraging the power of awakening to benefit all beings. They believe that what’s needed in our modern, Western culture are spiritual awakening practices that embrace both who we are and the modern culture in which we live.

Achariya Doug Duncan has been teaching the Buddhist path to awakening for over three decades. Known for his direct and compassionate engagement with students, Doug embraces the full spectrum of the various traditions he employs in order to mentor beings to a more awakened state.

Since the early 2000s Catherine Pawasarat has provided dharma training and taught the path of awakening to hundreds of students, together with Doug and on her own. In addition to Buddhist philosophy and its applications to daily life, Catherine also draws on generative living (a.k.a. sustainability) and the arts.

Doug and Catherine are lineage holders in the Namgyal tradition and co-founders of both Clear Sky Retreat Center in the BC Rockies and Planet Dharma. Having lived overseas for many years and traveled extensively, Doug and Catherine draw on intercultural and trans-cultural experience to broaden the range and depth of their understandings of liberation that they share with others.
