Approachable Teacher Taking Ancient Teachings to the Modern World
Doug Duncan is an incredible teacher because he makes himself accessible and approachable to the people around him. He makes a great effort to take esoteric teachings into understandable lessons that people can use in their daily lives. Something that I really appreciate about Doug is the constant respect he has for the teachings by helping his students understand their origins and the context in which they came from.

A place to reconnect
I found this place about 2 years ago. Its such a beautiful escape from the city, that is warm and inviting. I have completed the Becoming a Work of Art retreat 2x and have went for some karma yoga weekends since. Every time I have been there I come away feeling rested (always a great seep), nourished (the food is amazing and healthy), and connected. They have a great onsite team that are very supportive with any questions or needs you have.

Opportunity to practice in Canada or through online teachings/ contact with international sangha
Practicing with Doug and Catherine, and becoming part of their international online sangha, is an invaluable opportunity. Their multi-dimensional approach encompasses traditional and modern Buddhist teachings, psychoanalysis, astrology, and many other paths of exploration – based on the understanding that complex, modern beings require complex practices to awaken and live deep and meaningful lives. Paradoxically, their style of teaching is also fresh and direct, cutting away illusion and pointing to the simplicity that each moment holds of awakening.

Namo Tassa
The words fall short when describing, just how much of an impact that Sensei has been to my spiritual unfolding. Not only Sensei, but also knowing and having a community like Clear Sky available has been, again, indescribable. Truer guidance I've never received and for this, I could not be more grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
