Sangha Scholarship Fund

At Greatwoods Zen, we hold a vision close to our hearts: that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, should have the opportunity to experience the solace of community and the nourishment of mindfulness retreats. These spaces offer not just peace, but also the warmth of kindred spirits, insightful teachings, and the supportive embrace needed to foster healing and growth in our lives.

Since the beginning of Greatwoods Zen and continuing throughout this year, we've made it a priority to ensure that everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, can find a welcoming space within our community. This commitment is upheld by our dedicated staff, who eagerly volunteer their time to ensure that our programs remain accessible to all who seek them.

As our past scholarship fund has been exhausted, we're turning to our larger community for support. By contributing to our scholarship fund for upcoming retreats, you'll help ensure that individuals facing financial barriers can still partake in the transformative experiences we offer. Your generosity will enable them to access the healing and joy they need to flourish in their lives.

It's worth noting that many of our scholarship recipients only require partial support. A contribution as modest as $10 or $20 can make a significant difference, while gifts of $50 or $100 can bridge the gap entirely, allowing someone to attend a retreat they might otherwise miss out on.

We humbly and wholeheartedly ask for your support in nurturing our scholarship fund. 

Together, let's ensure that these retreats remain a beacon of hope and possibility for all who seek them.
