Claralynn R. Nunamaker
A person of many parts, Early Buddhist teachings and Pāli language study have changed my life. I’ve been assisting in jhāna retreats since 2024 and in 2025 was authorised by Leigh Brasington to teach.
Experience as a field forester, a trainer in Compassionate Communication (aka NVC), and also as a musician all inform my approach. From the US, I’ve lived in China, Taiwan, Scotland, Wales, and currently am a laywoman wanderer (paribbājikā) with no fixed residence.
Languages include Chinese (Mandarin), Pāli, and a little Sanskrit.
May you diligently endeavour (in a relaxed way) and your wholesome aspirations come to fruition!
