SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE. Open Way Retreats offers scholarships of $50.00 per person. If a payment plan or an additional scholarship is requested from your local sangha, please notify us at time of registration.

DANA/DONATION REQUEST: Dharma Teacher Dana (Generosity) By tradition, Dharma teachers do not charge for their services and the retreat cost does not include teacher dana. Our teachers are here because of the generosity given to them from past retreatants. They will be able to continue to share their presence, experience and wisdom into the future because of the dana gathered at this retreat.

For regularly employed participants, we suggest $100, less if conditions are not favorable at this time and more is appreciated if conditions allow. Dana is not a requirement but is always greatly appreciated. There will be a Dana Box at the retreat for contributions.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Cancellations received BEFORE April 18th will be granted a full refund, less a $10 cancellation fee. If you cancel after December 2nd you will receive NO refund because our numbers will have been turned in, and the camp will charge us for you whether you attend or not. EXCEPTIONS: If we fill your spot, we will do our best to refund your portion.

PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH STATEMENT: This meditation retreat is not a physical or mental health treatment and does not provide physical or mental health treatment resources.  If you are under treatment for a physical or mental condition, please consult your medical provider regarding the appropriateness of this experience for persons with your condition. If you are experiencing life trauma, emotional upheaval, or instability that might require individual support beyond our scheduled meetings with teachers, the retreat format may not be a good match at this time. Should you have questions, please contact the retreat organizers listed.

LODGING & ROOMS Most retreatants are assigned to shared lodging options, which will spaciously sleep about 4-5 people, have their own bathroom, and are well-heated. Single housing is limited; we will do our best to house you with adequate space in cabins, dorms, or rooms.

If you wish to camp, you may bring a tent or a camper. There are NO hookups available on site. You will have access to a shared heated bathhouse.
