Community
A special part of the ClearLight Experience is our community. ClearLight programs create a safe and supportive space to let down the walls that separate and trap us in isolation from others and even ourselves. People learn and grow in dynamic relationship with others in classes and retreats bonding in friendships that extend well beyond the meditation hall. Our community is the ‘We’ Space where we share our awake consciousness together.
“These programs are transformative and led by people with deep knowledge and experience. You truly get a deep feeling of caring from the instructors and the people who attend and interact with you. In fact, the people interaction is one of the best parts.” – Course Participant

Testimonials
The program is purposeful, the staff is knowledgeable and caring, and everyone should take a class!Heather Bloodworth, YMCA Executive
The learning was broken down into segments that I could digest so that the next class built on a solid understanding. If you’re looking for a place to get a handle on how to be mindful, how to reduce self-caused issues, ClearLight can’t be beat. Smart, kind people speaking clearly!Jim LaPann, Attorney
The retreat was excellent. I appreciate the guidance, the exercises, the discussions, the time for practice, and the care and compassion in helping us awaken in a loving way. I absolutely value the teachings on awakening and open heartedness. Best retreats ever!MF, Mindfulness Instructor
