History
ClearLight began in 1998 when Nancy and Scott McBride agreed to teach some classes locally in the Mainline suburbs of Philadelphia . It became clear very soon that people wanted to continue to practice together and deepen their experience. So we gradually expanded our curriculum. We offer onsite classes and retreats as well as online courses in the form of recordings. We adopted the name ClearLight Meditation in 2004.
