    Annual Membership Form
  • 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 $200-$500 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.  Please contact the SSZC Treasurer, Doug Reid, dreid01@gmail.com, and he will assist you with the calculation. 

    Payments can be made by e-transfer or via PayPal to saltspringzencircle@gmail.com.
