To celebrate the launch of their new book 'Wasteland to Pureland: Reflections on the Path to Awakening', master teachers Acariya Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat present teachings that have emerged out of decades of practice and study in Buddhist philosophy, Western psychology and other wisdom traditions. In Wasteland to Pureland, Doug and Catherine provide a contemporary guide to integrating spiritual practice with everyday life.

They show us expansive, ever-transforming selfhood is possible, with the capacity to awaken through work, creativity, sex, relationship and action. Honest, edgy and accessible, this is for anyone ready to shed light on limiting beliefs and wake up to the vibrant forces of light, love, compassion and wisdom in the world.
