How Much ?$?  
...to help us all understand
......how we keep our door open ~
.
Voluntary CLASS DONATION / 'DANA' ( 'Gift' ) 
. Your ongoing attendance in this class should never ever 
hang on your 'having' or 'not having' a donation. .
Class is voluntarily $upported by the meditator's 
open-hearted 'Gifting of Kindness' ( Dana )
..
A 'Suggested' Donation of $15-$20 
is sorta' standard for a full evening class, 
here or anywhere
and really does feel quite fair and reasonable to ask . . . 
AND 
No one is ever turned away for lesser or lack of funds. 
And still  
'MONEY' in relation to 'Donations' and 'Spirituality', and 
'giving' gifts or feeling guilt, is often a whole, old, loaded, 
difficult issue for some folks – our Money-Karma-Dharma 
is also an important key part of one's own liberating, 
expansive inner-growth process of 'paying it forward' !

'Donating' gives us a hands-on 'practice-opportunity' to put 
into intentional-action what is often resisted, withholding 
and so difficult for some of us. Even when we do have it - 
'Giving' with an un-prompted generosity and un-begrudging, 
true open-heartedness, is a real, big challenge. Still, in these 
troubled times - some more fortunate folks are giving more 
now in a way that balances it for the other meditators 
so please just bring through your best, we are all 
offering up what we can. 
~ Gracias !
