About dana: The registration donation covers Edmonton Insight Meditation's administrative and operating costs which enables us to continue to offer events to the community that support your practice. Participants are also invited to support the teacher through dana offerings. You can offer dana at any time during the course. Instructions will be provided on how to do so during the class sessions.
You are invited to enter into this practice of dana joyfully and with an open heart to support the sharing of these precious teachings. We often get inquiries about what would be an appropriate amount to give to the teacher. Offering guidance can be sensitive as everyone's circumstances can be so different. That said, we offer these soft guidelines for consideration: ~$10 - $20 per class, or roughly $60 to $120 for the six-week program. That said, we want to ensure that these precious teachings are accessible to everyone regardless of ones’ financial means. So please feel free to offer less than this in order to ensure your participation, knowing that your presence and any financial contribution you make are valued. Please feel free to offer more, if you are able and this brings you joy to support others and the program in this way.
