How You Can Help

There are Many Ways to Donate to RMERC:

The Ecodharma Center was entirely founded and funded by generosity. In the Buddhist tradition, generosity (known by the Pali word “dana”) is a central practice, an opportunity to reflect on and recognize our interconnectedness and to give as an expression of our care to support the sangha (community).  RMERC is a special place; for nature, for practice, and for community building. We welcome you to join us in ensuring that the Center thrives so that many can learn on, and from, the land for years to come.   
 
We welcome your generosity in whatever way feels generous given your current circumstances and resources.  Any amount is appreciated.  If a financial donation is not possible for you today, we hope you will join our e-mail list to stay in touch, and to consider signing up to hear about future volunteer opportunities.  Thank you for your interest and your support.  Welcome to the RMERC community.  We are glad you are here.

You can also donate stock, which is a fantastic way to use it. Donated stock is not subject to capital gains tax (as stock is if sold), and you still get a tax deduction based on full current value.

It’s an impossible though necessary task. Drawing on the teachings of the Buddha, our retreat focuses on cultivating the capacity to skillfully navigate our everyday lives with a steady receptive mind and a courageous wise heart. Held in peaceful noble silence throughout the retreat, our practices include foundational and transformative guidance on lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Please join us as…
