Facilitator Support

Facilitators receive honoraria for their time, preparation, and teaching. This support is funded through retreat contributions and helps sustain their ability to offer this work.

In addition, participants may choose to offer optional gifts directly to facilitators at the close of the retreat. These offerings are entirely voluntary and not required for participation.

About Our Model (Dana-Inspired Giving)

This retreat is inspired by the practice of Dana, or generosity. While participation is supported through registration contributions, we also hold space for voluntary giving beyond the retreat fee.

Your registration helps make the retreat possible. Any additional offerings are optional and are received in the spirit of generosity rather than obligation.
