Help Support PZI @ RMC by becoming a member

Pacific Zen Institute is a membership organization. That means regular donations from you and all our other members are the way we support our teachers, develop and fund programs, and pay for scholarships, rent, materials and staff. You are how we are able to do everything we do.

This is what you get:

– Members are included on the PZITalk list, our really interesting online discussion community. This is one of the ways we create a culture for transformation, through lively conversation and sharing of ideas.

– Members have the opportunity to do regular individual work with PZI teachers, either in person or by phone or email. For more information about working individually with a teacher go here.

– Access to our complete Livestreamed talk archive and extensive new PZI Online Library of audio talks, articles and videos from 1989 to present.

– Members get a 10% discount on CD’s and books and certain PZI events and retreats.

– You will find that becoming a member deepens your practice. When you make a tangible commitment, something good happens, you recognize this is real and it’s about you.

– Your contribution and participation make you a part of the development of Zen for our time (and are also tax deductible due to us being a 501c3 non-profit organization)!

How? You make a regular monthly or quarterly donation or a significant yearly gift. A good guideline for membership is 1-2% of your gross income but each person’s disposable income is different and some people live far away but still want to join, so we simply ask that you be as generous as you are able. This allows everyone, even starving artists and students, to become members of PZI. Your regular contribution makes you a member.

For more information or to learn more about how to become a member or to find out your current membership status and/or donation history contact membership coordinator Corey Hitchcock 510.524.9575 or email her at admin@pacificzen.org.
