SUMMARY:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living (Online or In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:A Six-Week Course (Online or In-Person at Clear Sky)September 11 – October 16\, 2021Saturdays: 10:00am-12:00pm MDT *Click here to see your timezone Recordings available for those who cannot attend live \n Register Now  \nThere may have been a time when mindfulness apps\, guided meditations or regular yoga classes were relaxing. Yet for many\, those are not enough anymore.     \nWith all that’s happening in the world\, how do we collectively come up for air?   \nThis course is for those who feel exhausted\, distracted or disconnected; those who want to find meaning and embrace their life fully.  It is to help integrate and apply mindfulness in your life\, for your own sustainability and happiness.  To be able to be of better service to those around you and to our planet.   \nNOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. \n   \nNavigating the complexities of today’s world requires more than just feeling good at a yoga class or in a meditation retreat. \nIn order to maintain a sense of purpose and connection\, we have to learn how to embody mindfulness while spending eight hours on the computer\, while thinking about our planet’s future or while navigating the pressures of daily life.  \nIntegrating Mindfulness helps you apply the power of awareness to your life\, and to cultivate a supportive container for personal sustainability.  Then you can live the change you wish to see. \n Register Now  \nMindfulness\, Integrated\nBy mindfulness\, we mean the natural power of awareness we all have\, and the approaches that help us cultivate this in daily life. \nMindfulness helps to slow down racing thoughts\, distractions and negative emotions.  Becoming more present and aware is like turning on a light so we can see better.  And when we really start seeing what is happening in our bodies\, emotions\, minds\, relationships and environment\, we have the freedom to make transformative change. \nFlourishing in our distracted and difficult world relies on bringing awareness to the people and things that nourish us\, letting go of what doesn’t\, and creating a container to protect our happiness and life-energy. \nThis course helps with: \n\nStrengthening your mindfulness or meditation practice;\nApplying the power of awareness to:\n\nExperience more calm and clarity;\nDevelop a supportive environment\, and healthy consciously-chosen structures and routines in your daily life;\nBring awareness and transformative change to big areas of your life that may be draining energy – concerns about your future\, money\, time management\, etc;\nCultivate more meaningful conversations and connections in your relationships and community.\n\n\nIntegrating mindfulness into your life to create supportive structures that help you stay balanced\, protect your happiness and support your year-round growth. \n\nBased on Clear Sky’s Five Principles\, Integrating Mindfulness helps you build a sustainable meditation practice that permeates your body\, career\, relationships and all other areas of your life.  \nYou can learn more about our Five Principles here and get our free pdf overview by clicking the link below. \n Get the pdf now – Five Principles of a Mindful Container    \n\n“Mindfulness is like turning on a light in a dark room. The power of awareness lets us see what is there – in our bodies\, emotions\, mind\, workplaces\, homes and relationships. Seeing what is there gives us the freedom and the courage to make deeply impactful changes. I’ve found it helps craft our lives\, environment and structures in a way that deeply supports connection and growth”. \nDuncan Cryle\n\nCourse Outline\nUsing the Five Principles\, Integrating Mindfulness teaches you how to apply mindfulness across all areas of your life\, and to create an environment that supports you physically\, mentally and emotionally. The course includes meditations\, exercises and community check-ins. \nWeek 1: Creating a supportive space for your growth; \nWeek 2: Transforming habit and making friends with structure; \nWeek 3: Quieting the monkey mind; \nWeek 4: Cleaning up big areas of your life frees up energy; \nWeek 5: The power of mindfulness for real and lasting change; \nWeek 6: Community and transforming our relationships with others. \n  \n\n“Deep transformational growth is really supported by having a container\, a supportive structure around us. I feel like we’re so disembodied today in our technological culture that this is my little kindness to myself in saying ‘hello body\, you’re part of my day.'” \nKaren McAllister\n\nMeet the Teachers\n \nKaren McAllister\nAs Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development\, I’m passionate about teaching the much-ignored principles of nurturing the factors – like honor your space\, structure\, and communication – that create the conditions we need to wake up more in daily life. I see how I learned and embodied these principles in my different roles at Clear Sky as the center went from self-starter to second-stage growth. This is what I call “the hands-on way of doing an MBA with a spiritual bottom line!” \nIn my free time\, I love travelling\, speaking Portuguese and reading history\, architecture and art books. \nDuncan Cryle\nThrough 30+ years of personal practice and 15+ teaching meditation and mindfulness\, alongside an active career working all over the world\, I’ve learnt a lot about an integrating mindfulness into daily life.  As a founding member of Clear Sky in 2004\, I’m amazed at the power of a beautiful\, natural and dedicated space for supporting people to deepen their meditation and feel more connected.  Alongside. my Clear Sky work\, I hold a director position at a large software company where I also run a volunteer global mindfulness program to 1000s employees.  I was formerly one of the pioneers of IBM’s mindfulness movement.  I’m passionate about how mindfulness-based approaches can transform how we live and work together\, and be of better service in the world. \n  Register Now  \nWhat Previous Students Are Saying\n \n\n“I think this course is a beautiful\, utterly grounded and relevant way of making the spiritual life very real and integrated with how we are living every day of our lives. It lays an important foundation for a meditation practice that can actually go somewhere and lead to a well-rounded and truly fulfilling life.” \nRuth – Embodied in Motion\n\n \n\n“It’s really\, really brought me back home to myself. I found myself in the past very scattered and would put off all the important things\, the spiritual aspects of life\, the mindfulness and so on\, just to blast through my day and get things done\, but now I am really taking pause. I still don’t get everything done\, but I don’t get everything done in a much more calm and soulful way.” \nEmmanuel – ActionAid Brasil\n\nCourse Cost\n \nWe offer this course on the basis of dāna.  If you’re not familiar with dāna\, you may have come across related approaches such as “pay from the heart.” \nWithin this model\, we are offering this course on a sliding scale from $120-360 CAD. \nDāna is a Sanskrit term that translates as “generosity” in English. The practice of generosity is central to spiritual unfoldment\, whatever path you follow. In our own Buddhist lineage\, teachings have always been given on the basis of dāna\, and we are committed to this practice and its development in the West. \nDāna is a radical and – we believe – viable economic alternative to capitalism. We all know there must be something better than capitalism or its hungry cousin\, consumerism. We maintain that\, together\, we can offer a financial model that is based in life-affirming mutual support. Please join us in co-creating this promising economic alternative. \n \n \nTo help you choose an amount that feels right for you\, we recommend this heart-based exercise from our friends at Planet Dharma.  \nIt’s our joy to offer this course\, and we trust you’ll match our time\, energy\, and passion by giving an amount of money that feels good and healthy to both you and us. \n Register Now  [wufoo username=”5principles” formhash=”ze64plr0w2w6oi” autoresize=”true” height=”786″ header=”show” ssl=”true”]

SUMMARY:Seven Rays of Healing with Medicine Buddha (Online + CS & Germany Residential)
DESCRIPTION:Seven Rays of Healing with Medicine Buddha\n(Online Retreat / In Person At Clear Sky / Germany Residential)\n**Covid-19 Update: This retreat now has three retreat options – live at Clear Sky\, live in Germany\, or as an online retreatant \nThis retreat is an opportunity\, for any meditator\, of any level\, to go deeper to the essence of healing. Through the Seven Rays of Healing (from the Western Mysteries traditions) and sense based meditations\, discover how to experience deeper foundations of vitality and health. \n\n\nRegister Now\n \nThis retreat is a collaboration between the dedicated teams at Planet Dharma\, Dharma Europe\, and Clear Sky. \nOrganiziers Dharma Europe invited our founding teachers Doug and Catherine Sensei to teach\, and due to travel restrictions the retreat became an online offering\, streaming live from Clear Sky. \nYou can also attend in person at Clear Sky or do a residential retreat in Germany\, please see below for more information. \n** See our FAQ section below for more details about our covid policy and requirements for attending online. \nSeven Rays of Healing with Medicine Buddha\nHow can we heal? How can we feel healthy and whole? \nEvery wisdom tradition around the world holds that true healing comes through an understanding of the nature of reality. Part of this entails learning to discern between—and dance together with—both absolute reality and relative reality. \nThe true challenge of a human life is to be able to live\, work\, love\, and dance in both relative and absolute reality at the same time. One or the other takes the foreground or background as appropriate. The system of the Seven Rays of Healing helps us understand the true nature of relative reality\, while bridging to absolute reality. Then we are ready to experience absolute reality\, primarily through the methodology of meditation. \nWhat Are The Seven Rays of Healing?\nThe Seven Rays of Healing use the chakra system of ancient India combined with aspects of Theosophical philosophy. This system helps us understand the different ways we manifest in the world. Moreover\, it helps us learn how to reorient our approach and engagement with the parts of our lives represented by the seven rays\, to embody greater love\, compassion and understanding. In other words\, it helps us learn to realize our spiritual essence. \nUsing meditation\, creative\, and somatic exercises\, we’ll bring relative and absolute realities together within one’s own being\, to manifest the heart and mind of spiritual realization. \nMedicine Buddha Empowerment\nOn the last day of the retreat\, there will also be a special Medicine Buddha empowerment given. According to Mahayana teachings\, the Medicine Buddha cures all diseases\, including those of ignorance. Its function is to free living beings from the three mental poisons\, hatred\, greed and confusion. \nThis is your opportunity to meet and study with Dharma Teachers and Spiritual Mentors\, Qapel and Sensei. \nThis retreat will be held in the heart of Germany\, in Schannenbach\, 60km from Frankfurt and Heidelburg\, as well at our magnificent Clear Sky Retreat Centre\, Canada and Online. \n\n\n\n \nAttend the Retreat Online (from home)\, or in Person in Canada or in Germany\n1) Online Attendance\n        Basic requirements to do the retreat online from home:\n\nBlock out the 8 days and be focused on the retreat for this entire period\, using this time and participating in the retreat as if you were at Clear Sky in person.  This includes a rigorous\, full\, daily meditation schedule.\nParticipate in all of the daily classes and group practices via online streaming.\nSet up a quiet space or location where you can focus on the Meditation Retreat\, and not need to engage in conversation or work with others.\nPut away your phone\, digital devices and other distractions.\nIf there are enough people in the same time zone as you\, you could also make a cohort to meet to do a group practice throughout the retreat.\n\n2) Residential Retreat in the UK\n        Attending in person at Maitreya House\n\nThe retreat in Germany will be held at a lovely place called “Haus Sonnentau” which means “House Sundew”\nThere will be appropriate Covid 19 protocols followed on this retreat.\nThe retreat is hosted by Dharma Europe.\nThe teachers and Dharma Europe operate on the basis of the ancient tradition of dāna or generosity. Please learn more about this profound practice before you register.\n\nTo register for the in person retreat in Germany please email Andrea Netscher at andreaomtare@me.com. \n3) In Person at Clear Sky\nIf you are local to Clear Sky in BC\, Canada you may also choose to be onsite in person\, where the teachers are.  We invite you to book a personal retreat cabin for the duration of the retreat. \nIf you are interested to join this retreat in person at Clear Sky Centre\, Click here to contact Michelle or call 1-250-505-6366 \n \nMeet the Teachers\n \nAchariya Doug Duncan Sensei & Catherine Pawasarat Sensei are Dharma and meditation teachers who founded Clear Sky Meditation Centre\, BC\, Canada. \nAchariya Doug Duncan received lay ordination from Namgyal Rinpoche in 1978\, and is a lineage holder in that teaching.

It’s their joy to offer this course\, and we trust you’ll match their time\, energy\, and passion by giving an amount of money that feels good and healthy. \nDaily Schedule\n\nDaily Class & Teachings: 5pm in Germany\, 9am MST\nMeditation (Q&A) : 10.00pm in Germany\, 2.00pm MST\n\nFees\n\nOnline Retreatant Admin Fee: CA$200 (approx € 135)\nGermany Residential Fee: €695 (includes Food\, Accommodation & technical support).\nClear Sky Residential Fees (Incl.

Learn more about Dāna here. \nPricing: \n\nOnline Retreatant Admin Fee: CA$200 (approx € 135)\nGermany Residential Fee: €695 (includes Food\, Accommodation & technical support).\nClear Sky Residential Fees (Incl. Food & Accomodation – please contact Clear Sky via the registration button below.\n\nTeachers receive no income from these administration fees. They offer their teaching on the basis of generosity\, or Dāna\, which you will have an opportunity to give when you register. \nHow Much to Give? A short exercise: \n\nTake a few quiet breaths and center yourself.\nSpend another few moments contacting as best you can a sense of health\, strength and abundance (noticing without judgement if this is hard to contact)\nOffer an aspiration (using the below\, or your own words).May this practice of dāna open up a space inside me to learn and receive.\nMay this gift support the teachers and teachings for the benefit of many other people.\nMay this gift directly support my own awakening through a strong dāna practice.\nThis gift\, myself the giver\, and the teachers are all impermanent – with this in mind I give lightly and generously\, for the benefit of all beings!\nNow check with your heart and mind what amount feels both consistent with your situation\, and expressive of your aspiration. Remember\, you are free to offer whatever amount of dāna feels good for you right now.\nNow simply\, with a joyful abundant heart aspiring for awakening\, and awareness of the preciousness and impermanence of life\, enter the amount you choose to offer.\n\nAbout the administrative fee \nIn a traditional model of in-person teachings\, a retreat center or urban meditation center invites teachers to visit. In these cases the centers have infrastructure and organization costs to cover\, which might be covered by an admin fee. For the teaching itself\, dāna to the teachers is offered in a bowl. This honors both the sustainability of the teachers\, and of the supporting center. \nWe’ve tried to recreate this approach online.\nThe teachers’ time and the teaching themselves are offered on the basis of dāna\, separate to the admin fee. With our dāna offering we are making a direct gift of generosity to the teachers to support their teachings and livelihood. Learn more about the practice of dāna here. \nThe admin fee goes to support the infrastructure and organization necessary to support them to teach. As anyone with an online business will know\, it can be surprising the costs of setting up a good infrastructure to support effective teaching and connection online. \nBelow are a few of the work and benefits that your admin fee payment is supporting: \n\nhigh speed internet (to allow interviews and classes on-line)\nonline class systems (Zoom)\nregistration / admin systems (Eventbrite\, Basecamp)\ncommunication systems to keep everyone informed\, share connection details\, teachings and other resources (Mailchimp)\nonline storage (for example\, Dropbox\, to allow us to let students watch recordings\, and to store and share selected teachings in other forms such as podcasts and video later\, and Amazon cloud)\nquality sound\, video and editing equipment (both for live teachings and to provide good enough quality for later sharing as podcasts and video). We are regularly updating our equipment to improve your user experience.\nonline calendar booking system to allow students to book interviews\nwebsite hosting and maintenance for sharing upcoming courses\, teachings\, blogs and other resources.\n\nMay all our efforts be sustainable\, abundant and for the benefit of all beings! \nWe welcome any questions. Please feel free to contact michelle@clearskycenter.org \nOnline Retreat Requirements \nIf you are taking this retreat online\, we require that you devote your full attention to the retreat for the entire two weeks. \nOnline Retreat Requirements: \n\nBlock out the full period of retreat and be focused on the retreat for this entire time\, participating in the retreat as if you were at Clear Sky in person.  This includes a rigorous\, full\, daily meditation schedule.\nParticipate in all of the daily classes and group practices via online streaming.\nSet up a quiet space or location where you can focus on the Meditation Retreat\, and not need to engage in conversation or work with others.\nPut away your phone\, digital devices and other distractions.\nIf there are enough people in the same time zone as you\, you could also make a cohort to meet to do a group practice throughout the retreat.\n\nCOVID-19 Policy \nPlease note\, we are taking measures to keep us all healthy during this retreat\, including: \n\nYou must have experienced no symptoms associated with COVID-19 in the past 14 days and will be required to take an online assessment prior to your stay.\nYou have not travelled outside of Canada in the past 14 days.\nPhysical distancing (2m) amongst all visiting retreatants will be observed during this retreat.\nPlease bring your own face mask(s) that you will feel comfortable wearing.
