Donations & Seva

Let your heart, experience and financial situation be your guide for giving. We offer donation-based classes, drop-ins, events and workshops to make yoga accessible to all who seek it. Donate based on the suggested price or give what you can. Call it the principal of abundance or just good old fashioned taking care of each other– what is needed is always provided. Donations can be made with cash, check, credit card or in trade. These are the ways donations are used:

• Directly to the teacher or Gurudakshina: Guru meaning “remover of darkness” (or to bring light to the truest form of Self) and dakshina meaning “giving of what one is capable of”; put it together and it’s an ancient tradition of “giving out of respect,” a “love offering” of appreciation by the student to teacher.

1. •Grace Tree Seva Fund: Seva is a sanskrit word which translates to selfless or sacred service. Love offerings (donations) to the Grace Tree Seva Fund create opportunities for those with need to participate in classes and wellness offerings as well as funding community-based gatherings and projects like the organic learning garden. The Grace Tree Seva Fund is our first step toward the development of a non-profit endeavor. If you would like to find out more about how the Grace Tree Seva Fund can assist you or someone you know, please contact us at info@gracetreestudio.com.
   

• Sustainable Community Project for the preservation and betterment of our inner and outer environment and the earth. This project includes the Grace Tree Organic Learning Gardens with the produce going to a local food pantry.

Please note: Donations to Grace Tree offerings and projects are not tax-deductible.

Community Projects

Grace Tree Sustainable Community featuring Organic Learning Gardens and Permaculture principals

Our vision for this project started with the organic garden as a place for all people of the Grace Tree community and beyond to gather with a common means (the gardens) for many different goals through volunteer opportunities, educational offerings, and yoga and growth classes with a nature theme. Our intention is to foster community connections through joyful stewardship of the earth, using principals of organic gardening and permaculture, while providing a nutritious contribution for those with need. The vision is growing! Watch for more info to be published in the coming months.
