Become a Member of Castlemaine Zen

Becoming a member is a great way to strengthen your practice and support the life of our sangha.

The benefits of membership include access to sesshin (retreats), dokusan (personal interviews with the teacher), online resources (including recorded talks) and special events.

Your contribution helps us to pay for insurance, hall hire, website costs and  dana for our teacher.

Please note that our regular Sunday zazen, yatras (meditation walks), rohatsu and movie nights are open to all, regardless of membership.

For membership fees, we offer a sliding scale of $40—$100 per anum, depending on your means. However, we don’t want fees to be a barrier to becoming a member. If you would like to become a member but are experiencing financial difficulties, please contact us.

Thank you for supporting our sangha and the practice of Zen Buddhism in our community.
