Class/Program Fees and Dana

Many classes/programs at Deep Spring Center have a building fee, which goes directly to support the rental and operation of the facility. The rate is $8 per week of class, which equates to $56 for a 7-week session and $80 for a 10-week session. See specific class listing for detail.

No one will be denied participation for financial reasons.

All Deep Spring teachers offer their time on a dana basis, joyfully sharing the teachings. Your free-will offerings to the teachers are welcomed.

With your support, we can continue to offer a range of programs and activities at Deep Spring Center.

Dana (pronounced "dah-na") is a Pali word meaning “gift” or “giving.” It is closely related to the virtue of generosity and is expressed in many  forms—the offering and sharing of our time, energy, knowledge/expertise, material items and financial resources. Dana is a purely volitional act of giving in which we develop our ability to let go, convey our compassion and caring, demonstrate our commitment, and acknowledge our interdependence and connectedness.
