Tara Mandala online and in-person programs offer three price levels: Benefactor, Sustaining, and Supported. Programs that take place in Colorado have additional fixed room & board fees, listed below.
Benefactor Level
Choose this level if you have the financial security and capacity to support Tara Mandala as a benefactor. Benefactors make it possible for us to offer a below-cost Supported Level to those practitioners with a limited income.
This level is for you if you:
- Own your own home and live comfortably without financial worry
- Have investments and savings
- Easily have access to money in times of need or emergencies
- Have the desire to help make the Dharma more accessible to others
Sustaining Level
Choose this level if you are financially stable and sustained.. Contributions at this level cover our program operating costs.
This level is for you if you:
- Have the capacity to meet your basic financial needs
- Make your rent or mortgage and other monthly payments
- Are generally able to purchase new items and experiences for yourself
- Can afford to take trips and go on extended retreats
Supported Level
Choose this level if you have limited financial capacity or are currently experiencing financial hardship. These contributions cover essential program costs and are supported by the contributions of those who choose the Benefactor Level.
This range is for you if you:
- Have difficulty meeting your basic financial needs
- Are experiencing housing, employment, or income instability
- Live paycheck-to-paycheck and and lack money in times of need
- Face challenges due to devaluation of your currency against the US dollar
