Mindful Valley is able to keep its fees at a minimum in order to offer its teachings and services to all those who seek them. This is only possible because many volunteers provide their expertise, time and resources free of charge. Others simply provide donations or have opened their home for a sitting group, such as the Eagle Rock and West Hills locations have done.

These generous offerings have reduced costs dramatically. However, there are still many operational costs - such as rent, administration, advertising, website maintenance, printing, travel, etc. Then there is the teachers time and travel costs that must be compensated also. For this to happen, sitting groups must be self-sustaining through member/participant contributions, otherwise they could not exist.

The good news is, we have cultivated three sitting group locations that are offered on donation basis. These were started by dedicated practitioners who donated their homes and time to keep costs down. You might consider starting a sitting group in your home as Eagle Rock and Sherman Oaks have done.

Please contact us if you would like to begin a sitting group or meditation class in your area. We can offer guidance, support and highly skilled teachers.
