There is never a fee for any teaching or ceremony. Donations are necessary to cover operating expenses including land payments, facilities, food, supplies, insurance, fuel, website, and transportation. The donation is also a measure of your commitment to your spiritual path and veneration for the teachings. The deposit is considered part of the total donation.
We use a sliding scale for donations to make our programs as accessible as possible to those in financial stress. Still, there are fixed costs with running these programs, so the deposits will remain as usual. The suggested donation range is intended as a guideline in the context of your financial resources. This article has some useful considerations around the idea of sliding scale donations.
Minimum age 18, younger applicants with parental consent will be considered on a case by case basis.
Drugs and alcohol are not allowed.
