Suggested donations


​The suggested donation cover the costs of the retreat, including  room and board.  (We serve three organic, vegetarian meals (breakfast - lunch - dinner), made from scratch from mostly local ingredients and produce from our own permaculture garden.)
​

We have three donation levels:

  • "Basic level" -  if your finances are tight and you cannot afford to offer the supporter level.

  • "Supporter level" - covers the basic costs for running the Zen Center, and for being able to offer in-person and online retreats. Our suggested minimum donation level.
    ​
  • "Benefactor level" - helps us offer scholarships to sangha members in need, and also tackle costs for maintenance & repair of our buildings.
