Every January 1st membership dues are collected for various sangha expenses including website fees, supplies and insurance.
Annual membership is on a sliding scale between $150-$200 CAD.
Membership is not a gift/donation to the teacher. In Zen, the word for this offering to the teacher is called, "Dana." Dana is a personal donation to the teacher for his or her teachings and support, and is not used for overhead expenses.
Membership is prorated if joining during the year. Anyone joining after January 15, 2020 can multiply the remaining months of the year by $15 and pay that one-time fee for 2020 membership. Use your best judgement if joining early or late in a month. If you have any questions, or need help with the calculation, please contact the SSZC Treasurer, Michelle Reed, mareed@rockisland.com or the Vice-Treasurer, Wendy Webb, seido.en333@gmail.com.
Payments can be made by e-transfer or via PayPal to saltspringzencircle@gmail.com.
You can also submit payment via PayPal or credit card by filling the box at the bottom of this form and selecting the "Submit Application" button.
