    Jun 22 2026
    Join us for an inspiring conversation with Duncan, a meditation practitioner of 37 years and co-founder of Clear Sky Meditation Center in British Columbia. Duncan shares his remarkable journey of bridging two seemingly separate worlds: his deep Buddhist meditation practice and his corporate career. In this episode, we explore: 🧘 **The Evolution of Practice**: How Duncan transformed from keeping his meditation life separate to fully integrating mindfulness into his professional world, creating the concept of "mindfulness squared" 🏔️ **The Power of Retreat**: Why taking time away from our overstimulated lives is essential, and how to create your own mini-retreat at home (even without leaving the city) 🌱 **The Five Principles**: Duncan reveals the supportive conditions that help mindfulness practice flourish, reverse-engineered from observing transformations at Clear Sky Center 👥 **Community & Connection**: The irreplaceable value of practicing with others and having guidance on the meditation journey 💼 **Conscious Organizations**: How to bring presence, awareness, and humanity into teams and workplaces 🎯 **Practical Wisdom**: From managing the "retreat shock" to creating structure that supports daily practice, Duncan offers concrete advice for modern practitioners Duncan also leads us through a beautiful 10-minute "Centered and Spacious" meditation practice, perfect for when you're feeling compressed by life's demands. Whether you're new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on how to live more consciously in our busy, overstimulated world. **Featured Practice**: Centered and Spacious Meditation (10 minutes) **Resources Mentioned**: - Clear Sky Meditation Center: clearskycenter.org - Mini Retreat Guide https://ibm.box.com/shared/static/btukluk3n7z72ba7c8umpxjlkd0ikcht.pdf

  • Day 21 - Silence

    Day 21 - Silence
    Jun 1 2026
    Day 21 marks the final episode of the Minimal Mindfulness Guidance Challenge with Silence - the ultimate minimal practice. Hosts Lele, Pat, and Nieta reflect on the challenge journey, discussing how finding the minimum words was both difficult and liberating, reminding them that mindfulness is fundamentally about awareness, not elaborate guidance. The episode concludes with a practice that has no guidance at all just a body scan, the deepest breath of your day, a gentle smile, and silence. This final meditation invites you to practice completely on your own, embodying the true spirit of minimal mindfulness.

    Day 20 - Intentionality
    May 29 2026
    Day 20 of the Minimal Mindfulness Guidance Challenge explores Intentionality - a meditation that empowers you to choose how you want to be present. Through minimal cues, this practice invites you to set an intention for this moment, noticing the difference between trying to achieve something and simply choosing how you want to be. As thoughts and emotions arise, gently return to your intention. Finally, consider what intention you'd like to carry from this practice into the rest of your day. This meditation cultivates purposeful presence.
