Believe in Life Again
We think young people deserve better than what the world is currently offering. We’re willing to show up and see what we can do to generate wholesome impacts, together.
Spend just two months in residence to remember that life can be meaningful, that you can be part of the solution, that connection is real, and that you have what it takes.
Join us from June 29 – August 29, 2026.
That’s what we’re really offering. Not a fix. Not a cure. A remembering that we can believe in life again. This youth program is our way of saying: you’re not alone, the world isn’t hopeless, and there are people who care about your generation inheriting something worth having.
Daily, we practice meditation together so that we can embody what we teach – what we fondly refer to as “a life worth living”. We do this by leveraging our shared vision and values to live well in community. We align around our quadruple bottom line: spiritual, environmental, social and financial well-being.
This is for you if:
- You’re 21-35 and feeling lost in the chaos
- You’re tired of superficiality and want real connection
- You want to counter your eco-anxiety with wholesome action
- You want to be of service in a world that needs us, instead of feeling helpless
- You want mentorship from elders who haven’t given up
You don’t need to:
- Be Buddhist (though we work in that tradition)
- Have meditation experience (we’ll teach you)
- Have your life figured out (literally no one does)
Ready To Get Real?
This isn’t for everyone. You’ll be away from your usual distractions, working with your hands and real people. Living in a small community you’ll face yourself and it can be uncomfortable.
If you want to believe in life again, and you want to be part of the solution– instead of drowning in problems, this might be exactly what you need. Space to remember who you are. This program is psychedelic and drug free, but we know this world. If you’ve had experiences with psychedelics and are trying to integrate them, we can support that work in a grounded, contemplative context.
What You’ll Learn
- How to meditate and practices that work including, relief from struggle (not bypassing it, actually working with it)
- How to lead, follow, and work as a team in community (leading with a heart for service, not ego)
- How to be a bodhisattva in the world (someone who acts, not just talks about it)
- How to live sustainably with people, pressures and the planet
Our team includes Buddhist teachers and practitioners– our head teacher Catherine Sensei and long term students offer authentic spiritual teachings and practices in a modern day context, plus:
- Entrepreneurs, coaches and career mentors who’ve built meaningful lives
- Therapists who work with depression, addiction and trauma
- Land lovers who know and care for the land intimately
- Creative professionals (writers, filmmakers) who’ll help you tell your story.
“As a Gen Z, I felt like I was giving up on life, and I wanted to find the peace and purpose that I felt was beyond my capacities. I found Clear Sky, and the teachers, teachings, and community showed me what I had been looking for: a way to wake up, and become the person I want to be—to learn how to listen to what life and the earth are speaking to me, and to march forward in our communal pursuit of the common good. I am ready now from this community’s support to love and serve on this planet as I was meant to, and I know that I am not alone. Full steam ahead!”
