Join Clear Dharma Sangha
To increase access to my teaching while making my work financially sustainable, Clear Dharma Sangha operates on a community-supported sliding scale.
The standard membership is $40/month, with sliding-scale options above and below. All memberships include full access to our audio library. Annual plans include two months free, plus a free signed book when you join by December 31, 2025.
- Beginning February 2026: CDS will meet on Wednesdays 4-5:30pm PT, plus first and third Saturdays 8-9:00am PT.
- Please read this page before selecting a tier and joining.
About our Sliding Scale
Connection: I want you to feel welcome each step of your journey, including the moment you join.
Accessibility: I want all interested to be able to access this community, regardless of finances.
Integrity: I want to honor the Buddhist tradition of dana (generosity), where teachers share freely and are supported materially by their students.
Sustainability: I want to provide for my family in a way that is sustainable for me.
Standard Rate ($40/mo): Our cost to run the sangha and what we’d charge if everyone paid the same amount.
Pay It Forward ($50+/mo): For those with more financial resources, these rates support the sangha's sustainability.
Supported Rates ($5 – $30/mo): For those who would experience hardship paying the Standard Rate (or who are unable to participate regularly).
All memberships include acess to our audio library and sangha recordings.
This may be uncomfortable.
This sliding scale invites us to reflect on class and economic justice in terms of access. It brings us into an honest relationship with respect for complexity.
We invite you to discern how much you can genuinely afford to contribute based on your resources, and adjust as you go if needed.
