Our vowed members and cofounders are available to lead retreats, workshops, and talks for your organization or community. These offerings can be in person or online. We invite requests from all organizations.
Leading retreats and workshops is a source of financial sustainability for our community and center, but we can negotiate pricing based on your organization’s needs. Pricing listed below does not include airfare, lodging and meals for our teachers, which would need to be provided by your organization for in-person events.
To make our work accessible across a wide range of organizations, we offer a sliding scale fee structure. This model allows larger institutions to help sustain our ministry while ensuring that smaller organizations can also benefit.
Our retreats are facilitated by two members of our team, and fees include program design, preparation, and leadership. Travel, meals, and lodging are not included. We are happy to offer retreats online as well.
