Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Turning the Tide: A Mindful ReLOVEution for Our Times
Meeting these times with love, courage & authenticity

With the heartbreak of exponential impacts from climate breakdown, we need to pause, take stock, and re-prioritize. We have the solutions, but fast-tracking them requires systemic shifts underwritten by a shift of consciousness.

The Buddha called Mindfulness “the flood stopper,” as it enables this shift from reactivity to embodied presence rooted in Dharma, informing the changes needed for a livable future.

As humanity faces its utmost challenge, we will explore holding faith to this spirit of collective transformation by opening to the heart’s intuitive knowing and our mutual belonging within Nature’s sacred web of life. Aligning with what Ajahn Chah called the “Living Dharma” there is the potential to be guided by the power of wise revolutionary love.

Schedule Friday October 20th to Sunday October 22nd (times listed in PT):
8.30 – Morning Instructions, Meditation, and Breakout Rooms
10.30 – Break
11.00 – Dharma Talk and Q&A
12.00 – End of Day
*schedule subject to change slightly

Dana/Generosity:  There will be an opportunity at the end of retreat to make a donation to the teachers. Thank you for your support! 

Note: After registering, please read the auto-confirmation email which includes important information including how to set up your space for retreat practice and the Zoom link. This is a live online only event.
