Sustaining Our Collective Home
Open Gate Zen Collective operates entirely outside the traditional market model, relying instead on a relational economy of mutual care and radical transparency. To dismantle systemic financial barriers and keep the Dharma accessible to all beings, the retreats are offered on an interdependent Sliding Scale model. We have no fixed prices. Instead, we invite you to look mindfully at your financial reality and choose the tier that honors your resources while supporting the collective.

Support the Retreat & Sangha
"We believe the Dharma should be accessible to all beings, free from the barriers of market pricing. Our sliding scale relies on a practice of mutual reciprocity. If you are experiencing financial ease, choosing a higher tier directly feeds our Community Care Fund, keeping this space sustainable. If you are navigating financial hardship, we welcome you to choose a Supported Spot—funded by the collective generosity of our sangha so we can all practice together."
