Match opportunity! Donate to our Sustenance Campaign to help CCR fund crucial initiatives. Every dollar is matched!
Welcome to the Seeds of Wisdom Giving Circle: the CCR’s monthly giving option, where you support the CCR by cultivating your own genuine well-being and learning how to be of deeper benefit to others.
When you donate monthly, you gain access to the Seeds of Wisdom Library, an ever-growing archive of previously unreleased expert teachings from the CCR’s leaders and guides, including co-founders Dr. B. Alan Wallace and Dr. Eva Natanya.
At the CCR, we know that wisdom is priceless. For that reason, you can choose the donation option that best suits your giving capacity. Your monthly gift is crucial support that enables the CCR to continue to host retreatants, conduct research, and share contemplative guidance with the world.
As a Sustainer, you help the CCR cover general costs for administration of our Mind Labs, which yield the offerings we are sharing.
As a Steward, you help long-term retreatants, monastics, and those with financial constraints access these resources affordably. Your generosity makes all the difference!
Sow the seeds for new initiatives in a world that desperately needs contemplative knowledge. The CCR has ambitions to create new resources, such as teacher trainings and educational curricula for many academic levels—your support as a Cultivator helps make these aspirations a reality.
To truly usher in a new era of human flourishing, the CCR must build centers guided by expert teachers, share contemplative wisdom, and conduct groundbreaking research. As a Benefactor, you make this level of growth possible with the urgency that this moment in human history demands.
