The center came into being in 2004 to fill a niche that our founders felt was lacking. They saw the need for a permanent physical location for a multi-faceted approach to awakening.
In essence, Clear Sky exists as a space to help people wake up.We offer world-class awareness and mindfulness training. One of our strengths is in revealing and integrating the shadow - something that is easy to sidestep in spiritual practice. This happens through direct relationships with teachers and trainers that address every aspect of the being. The goal - to awaken in this lifetime.
