At Clearmind we believe that REAL relationships are the foundation for an optimal life. Our founders, Duane and Catherine O’Kane are a passionate, engaging and relatable husband and wife team. Their mission is to accelerate personal evolution through the power of authentic connection. They are dedicated to practicing what they preach in all aspects of their personal and professional lives.

Together, Catherine and Duane O’Kane have created a range of innovative, experiential, educational, and psycho-therapeutic programs that harness the power of human connection. Today, our organization has grown well beyond the founders. We are proud to offer a diversified team of professional instructors, facilitators and business professionals who lead from a place of authenticity and emotional responsibility.

The quality of our life experience shifts dramatically when we make connection our goal, on a psychological, emotional, and spiritual level. Within the context of connection, we discover that we can be who we are, flaws and all. Our ability to meet, accept and embrace our flaws will save our relationships instead of ruining them. We experience the rainbow of human emotion rather than just pursuing a narrow sliver of it. There is nothing to fear because we belong and are good enough as we are. This is the experience we wish for every human on the planet.
