Hi, I’m Sunada.

I teach the online meditation courses here at Wildmind.

Although I was born in Japan, I’ve been living in the US since I was three. I’ve been an actively practicing Buddhist since 1995 and am a member of the Western Buddhist Order. Prior to joining Wildmind, I taught classes in meditation and Buddhism in the Boston area for about three years, and am currently involved with Aryaloka Buddhist Center in Newmarket NH and the Boston FWBO in Somerville MA. I live in Cambridge MA with my husband.

People say that if you do what you love, the money will come. It’s so true. For 16 years I did what I thought I needed to in order to make a living — worked in high tech, managing software development projects and living under constant stress. It took some serious stress-related injuries to finally wake up to the fact that this was no way to live.

Over the course of nine years, my career meandered around until I landed at Wildmind in Jan 2006. I love teaching meditation and helping others grow and change. I also have a passion for music and particularly love exploring ways that meditation and the arts can feed each other. I’m studying voice, sing with an a cappella group called The Silk Tones, and have also studied classical piano in the past. Nobody ever gets rich doing what I’m doing, but you know what? I have everything I need, and I’m doing what I love. What more can one ask?
