Ashram Day of Giving
On March 6, we invite our community near and far to come together for a shared moment of generosity, gratitude, and support.
The Ashram has long been a place of refuge. A place to pause, to practice, to remember what matters. Every retreat, class, kirtan, and quiet morning exists because of the collective care of those who believe in this space and its purpose.
Ashram Day of Giving is an opportunity to give back to the place that gives so much.
Your contribution directly supports:
- The preservation and care of the Ashram grounds and buildings
- The continuation of spiritual, educational, and retreat programming
- Access to teachings and practices that nurture inner and collective well-being
No gift is too small. Every offering is a gesture of stewardship and love, helping ensure the Ashram remains a living sanctuary for future generations.
Whether you choose to give in gratitude for past experiences, in support of current programs, or in hope for what’s to come, your generosity makes a meaningful difference.
Join us on March 6 in honoring the spirit of giving.
Together, we sustain the Ashram.
Become a Sustaining Supporter
The Ashram thrives through steady, collective care.
Recurring donations provide a reliable foundation that allows the Ashram to plan thoughtfully, maintain its sacred spaces, and continue offering teachings and programs throughout the year. Rather than a single moment of giving, sustaining support is an ongoing relationship rooted in presence and commitment.
Your monthly or quarterly contribution helps support:
- The daily care and upkeep of the Ashram and its grounds
- Consistent spiritual, educational, and retreat programming
- Long-term stewardship of this sanctuary for future generations
Even a modest recurring gift makes a meaningful impact over time. It creates stability, reduces uncertainty, and allows the Ashram to focus less on fundraising and more on service.
By becoming a sustaining supporter, you join a circle of individuals who believe in showing up again and again for what matters.
Choose the giving rhythm that feels right for you, and know that your continued generosity helps keep the Ashram alive, accessible, and grounded in its mission.
Give Through Your IRA Minimum Distribution
If you are 73 or older, you can support the Ashram through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA. This allows you to direct all or part of your required minimum distribution to the Ashram, supporting its mission while potentially reducing your taxable income.
A gift from your IRA is a simple and meaningful way to give. It fulfills your annual distribution requirement while helping sustain the Ashram’s programs, teachings, and sacred spaces.
Benefits of an IRA charitable gift include:
- Satisfying your required minimum distribution
- Potential tax advantages by reducing taxable income
- Directly supporting the long-term care and continuity of the Ashram
Gifts must be made directly from your IRA administrator to the Ashram to qualify. We encourage you to consult with your financial or tax advisor to determine what is right for your situation.
Many donors find that an IRA gift is a thoughtful way to align financial planning with spiritual values, transforming a required distribution into an act of service and stewardship.
If you would like assistance or additional information, we are happy to help.
Make a One-Time Gift
A single act of generosity can ripple far beyond the moment it’s given.
One-time donations provide immediate support for the Ashram’s daily needs and ongoing programs. They help care for the land, maintain the buildings, and ensure that teachings, retreats, and community gatherings continue to be available to all who seek them.
Your gift supports:
- The preservation and upkeep of the Ashram and its grounds
- Spiritual and educational programming throughout the year
- A living sanctuary rooted in service, practice, and community
Whether given in gratitude for a past experience, in honor of a teacher or loved one, or simply as an offering from the heart, your contribution makes a real and tangible difference.
There is no required amount. Give what feels right to you, knowing that every gift helps sustain the Ashram and the work it exists to serve.
