Free tuition option for practice intensives in 2012

Dorje Denma Ling is pleased to announce that we are adding a “free tuition” option for all of our practice intensives in 2012, including shamatha weekthüns/dathüns, werma and ngöndro intensives, and Vajrayogini, Chakrasamvara and Mahamudra retreats.  Inspired by the experience of our two “free” weekthuns this year, we have decided to offer a free tuition/accommodations-only pricing option for all our practice intensives in 2012.  Here are the key details:

• For the list of programs below, we will offer full, discounted, and “accommodations only” pricing (free tuition)
• Everyone is encouraged to come!
• If you can pay the full or discounted tuition, please do so – having people attend at all price levels is what will allow us to offer the free tuition rate 
• Payment plans are available at all tuition levels
• We have limited housing, so register early
• The free tuition rate is $30/day in the non-summer months, and this is the minimum daily fee (no additional discounts apply)

Fall programs and dates to be announced soon

Please help us make this program a success!   Come to support others in their journey by paying one of the regular tuition rates, or if your finances require it, come to take advantage of that community support by opting for the free tuition.    As our individual economic circumstances ebb and flow, we can feel the richness of creating community together and supporting each other through the different phases of our lives.
