About Patronage

By becoming a Patron,  you are helping to create a container in which the practitioner can focus soley on their practices. This is a tremendous support which ultimately leads to the stabilization and continuation of lineages that have been passed down for hundreds of years.  

Meditators going into extended retreat have always relied on benefactors to sustain their basic needs . it is often inherent to the gestalt of the of the retreat mandala both for the practitioner to ask and for those inspired to give.

Sarah has been preparing for 30 years, as a student in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, to be able to go into solitary retreat. It is her deep spiritual wish to be able to meet this moment. 

   By becoming a monthly donor,  you are making it possible for Sarah to continue unimpeded.  This is a tremendous gift, as the continuity is very beneficial. It also frees her from having to reach out for more support during the three and a half year period.

 Contributions can be made via many methods including Zelle, Venmo, Revolut (good for international), and credit card (the donate button is on the home page).   Monthly contributions can be cancelled at any time if there is a change in circumstances or inspiration. 

  One can also give montly for a specified period of time. For example designate a few months, a year, or other specific time limit.

  One time and sporadic gifts are also greatly appreciated and extremely helpful. They will be averaged into the monthly goal.

  The total monthly support needed is $2500 per month. Currently she has commitments for $916 per month. Any contribution is welcome. and greatly appreciated.
