Contribution to cover expenses
| Gautam does not charge any fee for his time and for conducting the retreat. Some volunteers have thus far helped cover costs for venue, travel, filming, equipment, etc., to support the coming together of others too who may benefit from the teaching.
So that expenses get evenly distributed amongst all participants, we request a contribution. Any contribution you make will go a long way in helping us spread the teachings and cover regular expenses. It would be greatly appreciated so we, as a collective, can equally support the teaching. |
Contribution is optional, any amount is welcome. |
Contribution Payment
| Contributions can be made using various payment methods such as Bank transfer, UPI, PayPal, Wise, and more. Please note we are unable to accept cash contributions. For international remittance, if a purpose is required during the banking process, please specify “retreat fees” instead of “contribution” or “donation”. |
