Welcome to Planet Dharma.  Our organization offers a unique and proven methodology to assist individuals and groups in bridging the gap between the spiritual and material world.  We empower students who study with us to make their workplace the primary focus of mindfulness training and consequently a place of great joy, exploration and liberation. This path is meant to bring an integrated spiritual path that positively influences the workplace as well as ones' personal life.

We are Dharma and Meditation teachers offering short & long term meditation retreats and workshops that explore the human struggle and the cessation of it.  

Doug Duncan is a Canadian-born dharma teacher and counselor who has traveled, studied and meditated for most of his life. He has taught and founded centers for awakening in Japan and Canada as well as being a visiting teacher in many other countries.

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. His great sense of humour, caring attitude and sometimes very direct involvement makes him an effective catalyst for opening the shadow, for very practical application of the teachings, for humorous and gentle relief when tensions mount and through a diverse range of explorations expands the teachings to include all aspects of life.

Catherine Pawasarat has developed awakening for the alleviation of suffering for all beings by training daily with awakening master Doug Duncan Sensei since 1997. She’s helped establish and develop centers for awakening in Japan and Canada as well as supporting awakening in other countries.

With Doug Sensei and other students, Catherine helped found Dharma Japan in Japan and the Clear Sky Retreat Centre in Canada. In particular Catherine focuses on dharma training and helping to implement sustainability, and how sustainability figures in the practices of awakening.
