Are you seeking to make good use of your considerable skills, while applying them to an experience that will transform your life and perspective? Are you in transition and looking for an explorative and supportive environment to clean up big areas of your life and strengthen your spiritual growth?
If so, we invite you to apply for our Operations Manager Karma Yoga position at Clear Sky Meditation Center.
In short, it’s easier with others. Modern living demands much of our energy and resources on a daily basis. This makes it challenging to find the resources (will, time and/or money) to actually spend an extended period of time in retreat and/or in depth exploration. Spending time in the embrace of a spiritual container, like that of a retreat center, is deeply nourishing and transformative. The supportive and often invisible conditions the retreat container and an awakening community provides, can spark small and often profound changes on one’s life path. This heightened awareness and depth of experience, facilitates your ability to deeply appreciate and focus on what really matters.
A deep diving immersion experience like this is not easy to find and makes for rich rewards for those who do. (Added benefits are spending quality time in community and nature, including with Sonora- one of our residential teachers’ horse, who brings ongoing opportunities to connect deeply and mirror our mind states back to us more frequently.) Quickly you can develop and broaden your skillsets, inner strength, and confidence. Over the years, we have seen our participants leave much more connected to themselves and others. They are more energized, and focused, able to show up, communicate and participate in their world, in more meaningful ways.
The 2017 Operations Manager Karma Yoga position is a three -month to two-year commitment. All positions have a one month trial period. If you are a member of our community and would like to apply to spend some time assisting in this role and some time in retreat, this is also possible.
