Dear friends,

I'm writing with exciting news for those of you who cannot visit the Center to participate in our meditative work. Thanks to the efforts of several committed members and teachers, we are pleased to invite you to an online retreat option that will run in parallel with the 7-Day Retreat led by Sandra Gonzalez from November 7 to 14.

Many of you will remember that we put online retreats on hiatus late last year while our limited staffing required us to focus on maintaining the quality of our in-person retreat programs. Since then, several members, teachers, and staff members have been at work developing a new path forward for online retreat programs.

The online retreat will include:

Our online retreats are offered on a donation basis. We invite you to consider what feels right for you at this time, and to choose from three suggested levels per day of attendance:

Support: $30 per day

Sustaining: $45 per day

Benefactor: $75 per day

These levels reflect the real costs of bringing a retreat online, and the community that makes it possible. Those who give at the sustaining level keep the online program financially sustainable. The benefactor level also opens the doors for others to attend, including people from economically disadvantaged regions of the world, who might otherwise never have the chance to sit with us. We are deeply grateful for this generosity.

No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If none of these levels fit your circumstances right now, please come as you are and give what you are able. We trust that each person knows best what they can offer. We offer our gratitude to all who participate, whatever their level of giving.

For more information, to indicate your interest, or to register, contact onlineretreats@springwatercenter.org or simply reply to this email.

Warm regards,

Mark Bruno
Administrator, Springwater Center
