“Without signs and words, transmission happens in deepest silence.”
-Qapel

Clear Sky is deeply rooted in a vibrant spiritual lineage. Both Qapel Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat Sensei recieved ordination from the Venerable Namgyal Rinpoche.
They believe that we have the capacity for full awakening in this lifetime, and they draw on several modalities to help their students work towards that, such as Vajrayana Buddhism, Integral theory, shadow integration, Astrology, western science and psychology and more.
With a mandate for planetary healing, Qapel and Sensei have built Clear Sky as a refuge for the modern spiritual practitioner. They encourage us to think beyond ourselves, beyond our lifetime and to start building the foundations of Group Guru — a radical planetary next step beyond the traditional solo Guru model.
