Claudia Wellnitz

Claudia was born in 1956 in Germany, and first studied sociology at the University of Frankfurt. In 1981 she met the Buddhist master Lama Thubten Yeshe, who made such a big impression on her that she decided to study Buddhist Philosophy at Nalanda Monastery in France. Claudia is an accredited facilitator for The a.r.t. of Fulfilment Level 1 and Building Balanced Empathy delivering courses in English, German and Italian.

Since 1987 she has been working as a teacher of Buddhist philosophy and meditation and as an editor/publisher. Because of her keen interest in bridging Western and Eastern approaches to inner development in 1993 she started training in compassion-based psychotherapy and since 2001 works as a Tara Rokpa therapist, mainly with groups.

Since the idea of Universal Education was conceived by Lama Thubten Yeshe Claudia has observed its development and in 2016 when there was a chance to train as a facilitator for The a.r.t of Fulfilment she took the chance.
