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.

Refund and Event Policies

Join us online for a very special Summer Insight retreat with Beth Sternlieb and Celeste Young. 

This annual summer insight meditation retreat has been reformatted specifically to be an online daylong retreat, accessible for people who are staying home right now and would like to deepen their practice and connect with some calm, stillness, and a sense of inner refuge within community. 

The schedule will be spacious and includes guided meditations, sitting and walking practice periods,  mindful eating instructions, time for lunch and rest. The teachers will offer Dharma talks and instructions to support your practice. Much of the retreat will be held in noble silence, which helps us to deepen our connection to our direct moment to moment experience, cultivate continuity of mindfulness while at home, and awaken the heart and mind for greater ease, balance, and clarity during these challenging times. 

Join us for a weekend of deep rest within community and reconnect with yourself and others in a safe and supportive environment, from the comfort of your own home.
