The Mindfulness Meditation International pledge letter is available and has details on pledging with a credit card - the preferred method.

We understand that not all people are able to afford the above schedule, and as such, we offer work-study for those that are in challenging financial situations. However, work-study should NOT be used as a method to "discount" a retreat that you probably could afford. There is tremendous merit in supporting your Sangha financially, and even more merit in contributing higher amounts to assist those that cannot afford to pay full price for retreats.

Under NO circumstances will we ever turn away anyone who lacks the financial resources to attend classes or retreats. Please see our frequently asked questions for more information.
