Support PZI

In these times, generosity and freedom are important.

PZI is a place where people can reliably go—regardless of their circumstances—and find companions and a practice.

At PZI, we make a habit of generosity. Our scholarship program is 10% of our budget and regular programs at our centers are free of charge. You can support PZI in many ways, but especially through membership, donations, and volunteering your time.

Become a Member Make A Donation Support Your Teacher

To pay for a special product, such as a book at retreat, or a change to retreat accommodations, please visit this payment page if your registrar instructs you to do so.

Pacific Zen Institute is a 501c3 non-profit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible.  

Giving by Check

For both membership and donations, online transactions are often easiest. To send a check, or for extra-large donations, you can mail it to:

Pacific Zen Institute
P.O. Box 2972
Santa Rosa, CA 95405

Make checks payable to Pacific Zen Institute, with special instructions (such as “Teacher Gift for John Tarrant” or “Scholarship Fund”) on the subject line.

Volunteering

One of the best things to do in a community is to lend a hand. You get to know people better, you become more grateful for what others do, and the energy you give grows and becomes part of what sustains your practice. If you have useful skills you’d like to share (social media? flower arranging? cat herding?) let us know: corey@pacificzen.org.

“There are hands and eyes all over the body.”
