CCR OBSERVATORY FUND
DONATE TO COMPLETE PHASE ONE
A perfectly conducive place for contemplative science is nearly impossible to find.
With your help, the CCR can be such a place.
CCR Crestone’s construction projects are underway but incomplete. Your contribution to the Observatory Fund will enable us to finish our first building phase and host a full cohort of contemplatives, teachers, scientists, and YOU, at this incredibly special Contemplative Research Observatory. Help us complete these projects this year!
These projects weave together the necessary elements for CCR’s mission to
Fathom the Mind. Heal the World.®
PHASE ONE COMPLETION PROJECTS
SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR’S CABIN
Completion of this high-priority project will enable the CCR’s founder, Lama Alan Wallace, to be present for crucial leadership and retreat
CABIN 14: TSOGYAL LATSO
For welcoming new contemplatives from our waitlist, in Autumn 2023
ANNOUNCING: TIDRO CAVE
Enough funding will launch a down-to-the-studs renovation for welcoming donors like YOU for short-term retreat
Observatory Fund contributions will also go toward essential infrastructure repair and maintenance, including for our beautiful but aging Manjushri Chapel.
PHASE ONE FUND TARGET: $400,000
- Spiritual Director’s Cabin
- Cabin 14: Tsogyal Latso
- ANNOUNCING: Tidro Cave for short-term retreats
CCR’s Observatory Fund will also ensure the financial capacity to initiate important maintenance projects (chapel repair, roofing, septic maintenance, etc.) at its one-of-a-kind contemplative research observatory.
With your help, we can complete these projects rapidly, before the deep winter sets in!
Funds will first be applied toward expenses incurred for these projects in 2023, continuing in 2024 with enough raised.
TIDRO CAVE: WELCOMING YOU FOR SHORT RETREATS
The CCR is excited to announce that, upon successful fundraising for completion of the Spiritual Director’s Cabin and Tsogyal Latso, we will renovate one of our small, unoccupied cabins (currently in a state of severe disrepair) for short-term retreat.
This cabin will be available to reserve for your own retreat, so that you can experience the deep peace of our center and Crestone, practice among a silent community of dedicated contemplatives, and cultivate your own practice for the benefit of all. (Some previous training in meditation is required to ensure the best retreat experience; a brief application will be included.)
YOUR DONATION OF ANY AMOUNT TO THE OBSERVATORY FUND WILL ENTER YOU INTO A DRAWING TO WIN A ONE-WEEK STAY IN TIDRO CAVE.
