Our Quadruple Bottom Line
We are committed to promoting the teaching of awakening for current and future generations. We have developed a generative quadruple bottom line that guides all our decision making toward the goal of developing wisdom and compassion for the awakening and benefit of all beings.
“Here at Clear Sky, we’re trying to provide a refuge for this work. To provide a light for seekers who want to forge into the unknown and make their spiritual practice wider and broader than it has been in a very long time. To include and transcend.
“In that sense, we might call ourselves Integral Evolutionists.
“Not everyone can live and work in community yet — many serious practitioners do not have access to a center that allows this new path.
“So for those that need a place to call their spiritual home, while building their own version wherever they are, we hope and intend to provide a reference point, a beacon, a light, a satellite.
“A place to rejuvenate, to be inspired, to give you encouragement and motivation to go to your various places where you might live and build your centers with that kind of understanding — assuming you agree with us.
“So, we need a lighthouse!
“We need a lighthouse that can be seen from inner space. And we’re calling that lighthouse our new temple for the wider world. An invitation to those seekers to come and share in this work, if only temporarily, to take it back with you.
“Currently, there is no such place on the planet that we know of that has such a broad and inclusive vision. And with this particular take, we’re calling it the fifth turning.”

Spiritual Bottom Line:
Awakening is possible in this very lifetime, and each moment of mindfulness moves us toward that realization. Our mission is to foster deep inner transformation so that all who practice can live with wisdom, compassion and joy — benefitting all beings and the world around them.
Environmental Bottom Line:
We all need a healthy planet and environment to live and grow. Caring for our environment and being responsible stewards is an act of spiritual unfoldment. At Clear Sky our goal is to be a model of responsible and sustainable environmental action.
Social Bottom Line:
When our spiritual aspirations are clear, and our environment is healthy, we can develop healthy sustainable communities. We are creating a modern monastery and a place where people can live, meet and grow, both in-person and virtually around the world.
Financial Bottom Line:
Finally, when the first three are in place we believe that the financial well-being of the organization will naturally be the outcome. We are committed to being financially responsible and generative to support our efforts.
