Sliding Scale

TNI is dedicated to offering affordable rates to all. TNI retreat fees are on a sliding scale basis that allows participants to pay according to individual means. Fees do not include compensation for the teachings, and teachers rely on the generosity of retreatants for a sustainable income. There is an opportunity to offer dana (donations) to the teachers at the end of each retreat.


Benefactor - The Benefactor rate provides the opportunity to offer more substantial support for TNI.

Sustaining - The Sustaining rate represents the actual cost to TNI to operate our programs. If you can afford this level or higher, you assist our efforts to offer lower sliding-scale rates and ongoing financial subsidies.

Base - The Base rate covers 82 % of what is needed to run our organization. To balance our budget and to wisely steward our resources, donations must supplement our registration income.

Reduced - Payment at the Reduced rate covers only 71 % of what is needed to run our organization. To balance our budget and to wisely steward our resources, donations must supplement our registration income.

Les quatre nobles vérités : Le chemin de la liberté

Dawn Mauricio

Avec le monde, les nouvelles et les systèmes sociétaux tels qu'ils sont, en plus de ce que nous pouvons traverser personnellement, il est facile de voir qu'il y a de la souffrance tout autour de nous. Pourtant, les enseignements intemporels du bouddhisme nous rappellent que la vie n'est pas faite que de souffrances et que nous pouvons accéder à la liberté et aux véritables causes du bonheur là où nous sommes.

4 mercredis soirs. En direct sur Zoom.
