Fees

Sangha Fee structure

Sun Mountain Zen charges a standard suggested membership fee and individual suggested event fees. Where necessary, concessional fees are available.

As stated above, so that all students are able to participate in Zen practice, the Sangha will endeavor to sponsor a participant where the concessional fee is unable to be met.

All financial contributions by members will be held, as much as practical, confidential between the treasurer and the individual member.
