The name Clear Sky represents the mind of blissful, non-clinging awareness – the still, clear mind always present behind the ever-shifting clouds of everyday thoughts and emotions. This is the mind that pays attention to the right details and is alert, awake, conscious, and kind.

Our Vision

Clear Sky isn’t just a place.
It’s the aspiration and the common purpose of a group of people. Simply put, we want to wake ourselves up and help others do the same.

Additional economic information

This is not exactly relevant, since as we’re a charity there is no buy-in or group ownership. We’ve clicked ‘no’ here because we want to encourage financial responsibility in all, and money or other worldly concerns become an energy drain if not attended to properly. Our board members undergo money coaching before being allowed to serve.
