We are delighted that Christina Feldman, Stephen Batchelor and Brad Warner will be offering these events to help raise vital funds for the survival of Gaia House during these times.
Our patrons Christina Feldman and Stephen Batchelor have been instrumental to the flowering of Dharma in the West, with Christina co-founding Gaia House nearly 40 years ago. Both teachers served on our Teacher Council for many years, supporting the growth and flourishing of Gaia House. Brad Warner was ordained a Zen Buddhist monk by Gudo Nishijima Roshi and is the founding teacher of Angel City Zen Center in Los Angeles, California. We are incredibly grateful to all three teachers for lending their support to help sustain Gaia House during this time of significant financial vulnerability.
We have consciously chosen not to specify a rate or suggested donation for these Dharma fundraising events. Instead, we are appealing to you to contribute to the events in the same spirit of great generosity with which Christina, Stephen and Brad are offering their teachings for the benefit of Gaia House. Reflecting on the value that Gaia House holds for you in your personal life, please offer your utmost financial support to ensure that Gaia House weathers the storm of these uncertain times and can resume its full array of Dharma offerings when the covid-19 pandemic is over.
Gaia House is a rare place in the world today — an important refuge for cultivating wholesome qualities and a more expansive heart in the face of suffering. With your collaboration as a sangha friend and donor, Gaia House will be able to continue to serve as a healing force in these challenging times and beyond.
Your gift will be put to immediate use, ensuring stewardship of the land, maintenance of our building, the continuation of our online offerings, and hopefully soon, more in-house and residential retreats.
