"Generosity brings happiness 
at every stage of it's expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given."
-The Buddha
Donations to Spirit Rock are a very special form of continued Dharma practice. We appreciate your generosity to our center.
All our classes and retreats are conducted on a dana basis, which means our teachers do not receive a fee or salary for their work. Instead, they offer the teachings in a spirit of generosity. For most Spirit Rock events, fees cover only the basic costs of organizing and running the event.Our goal at Spirit Rock is to keep our fees for classes and retreats at a reasonable level, so everyone in our community may continue to participate in the programs we offer. Because these fees do not cover our annual costs to run our programs, we rely on contributions to our Annual Fund to keep Spirit Rock thriving
We appreciate donations of any size and hope you will join our Sustaining Stewardship Sangha. If you would like, you may use our mail-in donation form.
