Why integrating mindfulness?

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, many of us struggle with pressures and distractions that pull us away from our center. Even with a meditation or mindfulness practice, you may feel disconnected or that your efforts aren’t bridging the gap between your intentions and your daily challenges.

This course is your sanctuary—a refuge to breathe deeply, reflect intentionally, and reconnect with what truly matters. Together, we create a supportive space for you to flourish, offering tools and practices to integrate mindfulness into every facet of your life.

Our unique approach addresses not only your inner world but also the external environments, relationships, and systems that influence your well-being.

We see you, and we walk this path with you.

A holistic approach

Integrating Mindfulness addresses the fullness of life—our habits, our relationships, our environments, and our deepest aspirations.

Unlike other mindfulness or personal development programs, we use a threefold approach: cultivating mindfulness, crafting a supportive container, and powerfully integrating mindfulness into all aspects of life and work.

This synergy ensures that participants experience profound, tangible transformation.

Through this course, you will:

  • Strengthen your mindfulness or meditation practice to bring more calm, clarity, and presence to your days.
  • Build meaningful connections that inspire and uplift you.
  • Transform your environment and routines into a sanctuary of growth and intention.
  • Create lasting change by addressing areas that drain your energy or hold you back.

We work with heart-centered guides and a community of like-minded individuals, fostering a circle of belonging that nurtures transformation.

What Previous Students are Saying

There are big areas of my life I needed to look at… that I didn’t know I needed to. I am more aware of them now, and have perspective on how to bring daily mindfulness to them. Now I have a technique to structure my life and prioritize the things I actually want to do, and a dialogue technique that is helping in my relationships. Integrating Mindfulness allows you to think about issues in a different way (such as money!). Insightful and nourishing.
Daniel
Participating in the Integrating Mindfulness course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It has helped me cultivate greater awareness and compassion and provided me with practical tools for managing stress and anxiety. I am deeply grateful for the Clear Sky community and support provided by the course.
Artin
"I'm so stressed out… I cannot see an end to it"—says everybody. I’m always considering options, and I had doubts around the authenticity of the Integrating Mindfulness programme, but I’m glad to report those doubts were completely unfounded. With this course, you learn to stop and breathe, and the teachers will show you that it is indeed possible—necessary, even—to put mindfulness at the very centre of your life. At first it might not seem there have been any changes, but on reflection the changes have been huge.
Pat
I wanted more clarity on which direction to go. In Integrating Mindfulness, I found fluidity and a variety of approaches to things I need, like scheduling, conversation, clearer speech, and language. In it, I also discovered a definite need for clearing and dissolution. The question of work and overall change remains, but I have moved forward on that journey.

  • Create space for growth.
  • Transform habits with intention.
  • Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.

What Previous Students are Saying

I was hesitant to commit when things are already so busy, but thankfully I committed and encountered incredible wisdom! Now I have an increased awareness of the healing power of community when trying to heal deep, sticky, collective traumas. I’m cleaning up my money relationship, building better habits, and learning how to deal with temptation and blind spots. The next plan is to create a meditation room. Integrating Mindfulness provides teachings and practical opportunities for application; anyone wanting to take up the spiritual path would benefit.
Ben
Seeing two sides of a story, being still more often, and listening are principles I’m taking with me. I have a lot of friends who need to take time to take Integrating Mindfulness and see things differently. You will see things clearer.
Yvette
What is really important, what is not? I’ve been running round in circles and always end up the same: No direction, but stress! In Integrating Mindfulness, I realized things that aren’t my highest priorities have been taking up a lot of time and money, and I was missing a daily, intentional structure. With these teachers, you'll get clarity about what you do, why you do it, and how you should do it to feel and think better.
Jutta
The key word is integrating—not compartmentalizing, but establishing a wholeness. I was looking to ground, focus, and develop a formal practice, one in which I could develop commitment to self. I have found that I am deep in shadow, and am struggling with subtle traumas that need to be nurtured with loving kindness. Going forward, it’s small steps to reach out to community and allow myself to be vulnerable.

What Previous Students are Saying

Before Integrating Mindfulness, I had been struggling with consistent practice, conflicts within marriage about my practice, and finances. Now I have a dedicated space for my practice, am solidifying my need for sangha, and am reassessing myself and my blocks and shadows. I would encourage someone interested in this to be open to change, and know that change is always occurring—it doesn't need to be a negative.
Leslie
Mindfulness is so much more than just truly enjoying my cup of tea! I was struggling to find balance with all the big life issues that are changing in my life; finding Integrating Mindfulness was serendipity. It is what I need in my spiritual toolbox to help me stay open and connected. I am more aware now when I am losing myself in grief, when I am handling difficult conversations, and in seeing how human differences are to be enjoyed, as I enjoy different flowers. There is so much more to discover about life. Integrating Mindfulness is about interactions with fellow travellers! If you want to take mindfulness deeper, you need this course.
Kirsty
I am doing a lot of other courses. They are all good—this one is special. Integrating Mindfulness provides a good foundation to support any other studies. People who express feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, lacking connection, would find an ideal fit here. Now, I am committed to being aware of my boundaries, and doing what it takes to maintain them, including clear communication to others. I’m going to continue working on my spiritual container and structure. I plan to come to Clear Sky for more!
Kim
Before Integrating Mindfulness, I was exploring many directions, and this was sapping my energy and making me ungrounded. I have been intending to discover a "middle way." Through this course, I have been getting clearer on my core, non-negotiable values. I have gained confidence in asserting and communicating my boundaries and initiating conversations, whereas in the past I avoided conflict. My sense of self-worth is deepening and I am valuing my time and energy more. I am discovering solutions for meeting my basic needs, not subscribing to short-term gratification impulses, and being in communion with conscious community, all simultaneously.
Aila
Since Integrating Mindfulness, I’m beginning to see how mindfulness is a part of everything, and how much of my life I have let slip out of my hands by not being mindful. I’m seeing how much power I will regain as I learn to be aware of myself more constantly and expand my ability to actually choose what I want to choose in each moment. Talk about life-changing! Integrating Mindfulness will give you the opportunity to peel back some of the daily veils put up around painful and confusing areas of your life. Doing it with a group, and with Karen and Duncan as wonderful teachers who really know what they are doing, will set you up to get closer to the direction and peace that you so deeply crave.
