SUMMARY:Meditation Circle: Community Classes for Inner Well-Being (Online or In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development. She founded The Mindful Money Coach and has helped hundreds of people better integrate and align their spiritual path and relationship with money. Her passion lies in nurturing spaces\, structure\, and communication to support awakening in everyday life. With her decades of spiritual leadership\, Karen gently guides participants to uncover their innate wisdom and clarity.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Duncan Cryle				\n				\n				\n				\n									Duncan Cryle is a co-founding member of Clear Sky Center\, Dharma teacher\, and certified mindfulness instructor. He blends years of co-creating Clear Sky’s conscious community and dynamic team\, with an international executive career. He has created and run mindfulness programs at major companies\, including one of the creators of the IBM mindfulness community.  Duncan’s compassionate and holistic approach invites participants to weave spiritual growth seamlessly into their lives\, making profound insights accessible and transformative.								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Kirsty				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!					\n					Kim				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Aila				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!\n \nIntegrating 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.\n					\n					Erika				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n					ready to transform?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Mindfulness is not just a practice; it’s a way of being that illuminates the path to wholeness and connection. This course offers a nurturing container where you can pause\, reflect\, and embrace the beauty of your journey. This course stands apart because it combines mindfulness with real-world integration\, creating a path for sustainable transformation. Join us for Integrating Mindfulness\, and together\, we will uncover the power of awareness to create a life filled with intention\, compassion\, and deep fulfillment. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					LEARN more about clear sky's five principles				\n				\n				\n				\n									Based 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.  You can learn more about our Five Principles here and get our free pdf overview by clicking the link below. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									FREE PDF - Five Principles of a Mindful Container

SUMMARY:Spiritual Awakening\, Healing & Ecological Restoration: A Buddhist Mystic Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						Participating in the Integrating Mindfulness course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.

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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.

SUMMARY:Warriors of the Heart: The Bodhisattva Path (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development. She founded The Mindful Money Coach and has helped hundreds of people better integrate and align their spiritual path and relationship with money. Her passion lies in nurturing spaces\, structure\, and communication to support awakening in everyday life. With her decades of spiritual leadership\, Karen gently guides participants to uncover their innate wisdom and clarity.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Duncan Cryle				\n				\n				\n				\n									Duncan Cryle is a co-founding member of Clear Sky Center\, Dharma teacher\, and certified mindfulness instructor. He blends years of co-creating Clear Sky’s conscious community and dynamic team\, with an international executive career. He has created and run mindfulness programs at major companies\, including one of the creators of the IBM mindfulness community.  Duncan’s compassionate and holistic approach invites participants to weave spiritual growth seamlessly into their lives\, making profound insights accessible and transformative.								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Kirsty				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!					\n					Kim				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Aila				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!\n \nIntegrating 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.\n					\n					Erika				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n					ready to transform?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Mindfulness is not just a practice; it’s a way of being that illuminates the path to wholeness and connection.

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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						Seeing two sides of a story\, being still more often\, and listening are principles I’m taking with me.

You will see things clearer.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development.

SUMMARY:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living (In-Person or Online)
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth.

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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						There are big areas of my life I needed to look at… that I didn’t know I needed to.

SUMMARY:Breathing Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						Participating in the Integrating Mindfulness course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development. She founded The Mindful Money Coach and has helped hundreds of people better integrate and align their spiritual path and relationship with money. Her passion lies in nurturing spaces\, structure\, and communication to support awakening in everyday life. With her decades of spiritual leadership\, Karen gently guides participants to uncover their innate wisdom and clarity.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Duncan Cryle				\n				\n				\n				\n									Duncan Cryle is a co-founding member of Clear Sky Center\, Dharma teacher\, and certified mindfulness instructor. He blends years of co-creating Clear Sky’s conscious community and dynamic team\, with an international executive career. He has created and run mindfulness programs at major companies\, including one of the creators of the IBM mindfulness community.  Duncan’s compassionate and holistic approach invites participants to weave spiritual growth seamlessly into their lives\, making profound insights accessible and transformative.								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Kirsty				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!					\n					Kim				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Aila				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!\n \nIntegrating 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.\n					\n					Erika				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n					ready to transform?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Mindfulness is not just a practice; it’s a way of being that illuminates the path to wholeness and connection.

Now I have an increased awareness of the healing power of community when trying to heal deep\, sticky\, collective traumas.

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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development.

DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						Participating in the Integrating Mindfulness course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						I wanted more clarity on which direction to go.

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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						There are big areas of my life I needed to look at… that I didn’t know I needed to.

SUMMARY:Money & Spirituality: Integrating Spiritual and Material (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development. She founded The Mindful Money Coach and has helped hundreds of people better integrate and align their spiritual path and relationship with money. Her passion lies in nurturing spaces\, structure\, and communication to support awakening in everyday life. With her decades of spiritual leadership\, Karen gently guides participants to uncover their innate wisdom and clarity.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Duncan Cryle				\n				\n				\n				\n									Duncan Cryle is a co-founding member of Clear Sky Center\, Dharma teacher\, and certified mindfulness instructor. He blends years of co-creating Clear Sky’s conscious community and dynamic team\, with an international executive career. He has created and run mindfulness programs at major companies\, including one of the creators of the IBM mindfulness community.  Duncan’s compassionate and holistic approach invites participants to weave spiritual growth seamlessly into their lives\, making profound insights accessible and transformative.								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Kirsty				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!					\n					Kim				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Aila				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!\n \nIntegrating Mindfulness will give you the opportunity to peel back some of the daily veils put up around painful and confusing areas of your life.

DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development.

DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						Participating in the Integrating Mindfulness course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life.

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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth.

DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development. She founded The Mindful Money Coach and has helped hundreds of people better integrate and align their spiritual path and relationship with money. Her passion lies in nurturing spaces\, structure\, and communication to support awakening in everyday life. With her decades of spiritual leadership\, Karen gently guides participants to uncover their innate wisdom and clarity.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Duncan Cryle				\n				\n				\n				\n									Duncan Cryle is a co-founding member of Clear Sky Center\, Dharma teacher\, and certified mindfulness instructor. He blends years of co-creating Clear Sky’s conscious community and dynamic team\, with an international executive career. He has created and run mindfulness programs at major companies\, including one of the creators of the IBM mindfulness community.  Duncan’s compassionate and holistic approach invites participants to weave spiritual growth seamlessly into their lives\, making profound insights accessible and transformative.								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Kirsty				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!					\n					Kim				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Aila				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!\n \nIntegrating 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.\n					\n					Erika				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n					ready to transform?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Mindfulness is not just a practice; it’s a way of being that illuminates the path to wholeness and connection. This course offers a nurturing container where you can pause\, reflect\, and embrace the beauty of your journey. This course stands apart because it combines mindfulness with real-world integration\, creating a path for sustainable transformation. Join us for Integrating Mindfulness\, and together\, we will uncover the power of awareness to create a life filled with intention\, compassion\, and deep fulfillment. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					LEARN more about clear sky's five principles				\n				\n				\n				\n									Based 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.  You can learn more about our Five Principles here and get our free pdf overview by clicking the link below. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									FREE PDF - Five Principles of a Mindful Container

SUMMARY:Meditation Circle: The Dance of Generosity\, Reciprocity and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Integrating Mindfulness: Tools for Holistic Living\, Online or In-Person				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									The Integrating Mindfulness course has been described as one of the most transformative experiences of many people’s lives. It has helped individuals cultivate greater awareness and compassion while providing practical tools for real-world integration of mindfulness into life and work. This is not just another mindfulness course—it is a groundbreaking approach to creating lasting transformation. This course is an invitation to those seeking deeper meaning\, a fuller embrace of life\, and a practice that nourishes both their inner world and their connections to the community around them. NOTE: This course can be attended online or in-person at Clear Sky. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					focus area				\n				\n				\n				\n									Meditation  & Daily Life 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					practice				\n				\n				\n				\n									Interactive Workshop 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Duration				\n				\n				\n				\n									Four Weeks 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					Day/Time				\n				\n				\n				\n									April 19\, 26 and May 10\, 17 \n3-5pm MT; 2-4 pm PST 								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n					format				\n				\n				\n				\n									Online 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Why integrating mindfulness?				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n				\n				\n					A holistic approach				\n				\n				\n				\n									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. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Daniel				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Artin				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						"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. 					\n					Pat				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Zoe				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Attend Online (Register Here)\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									What’s inside the course?Our four-week journey is rooted in Clear Sky Retreat Center’s Five Principles\, offering a framework to create a mindful container for growth. These principles are: Honor Your Space: Transform your surroundings into a supportive and nurturing environment.Structure and routine: Develop rituals that ground and stabilize you through life’s ebbs and flows.Communication: Deepen your connections by cultivating authentic and compassionate dialogue.Cleaning Up Big Areas: Reclaim your energy by addressing unresolved challenges in key areas of your life.It’s Easier with Others: Community and transforming our relationships with others.Each week builds on the last\, inviting you to: Create space for growth.Transform habits with intention.Quiet the monkey mind and invite clarity.Free energy by resolving areas where you feel stuck.Integrate mindfulness into lasting\, transformative tools.Strengthen your sense of belonging and connection.This course is a unique synthesis of practical tools and profound awareness practices\, designed to address the whole of your life. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Who is this course for?This course is for those ready to step into their wholeness: To deepen their mindfulness practice.To navigate life’s challenges with grace and ease.To feel profoundly connected to themselves and others.To embrace awareness as a catalyst for sustainable\, heart-centered change.Whether you join online or in person\, this course meets you where you are and provides flexibility and tools to support and ignite your personal path and journey. 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Ben 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Yvette				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.\n					\n					Jutta				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development. She founded The Mindful Money Coach and has helped hundreds of people better integrate and align their spiritual path and relationship with money. Her passion lies in nurturing spaces\, structure\, and communication to support awakening in everyday life. With her decades of spiritual leadership\, Karen gently guides participants to uncover their innate wisdom and clarity.								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Duncan Cryle				\n				\n				\n				\n									Duncan Cryle is a co-founding member of Clear Sky Center\, Dharma teacher\, and certified mindfulness instructor. He blends years of co-creating Clear Sky’s conscious community and dynamic team\, with an international executive career. He has created and run mindfulness programs at major companies\, including one of the creators of the IBM mindfulness community.  Duncan’s compassionate and holistic approach invites participants to weave spiritual growth seamlessly into their lives\, making profound insights accessible and transformative.								\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n							\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					What Previous Students are Saying				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									\n					\n				\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.

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. \n					\n					Jennifer				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					meet the teachers				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n					\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Karen McAllister				\n				\n				\n				\n									Karen McAllister brings a wealth of wisdom as Clear Sky’s Chair of the Board and Director of Business Development.

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. 					\n					Leslie 				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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.					\n					Kirsty				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!					\n					Kim				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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. 					\n					Aila				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n											\n									\n							\n					\n						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!\n \nIntegrating 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.\n					\n					Erika				\n						\n											\n		\n								\n									\n															\n													\n						\n													\n																\n												\n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n					ready to transform?				\n				\n				\n				\n									Mindfulness is not just a practice; it’s a way of being that illuminates the path to wholeness and connection.
