MUDRA FINANCIAL AID SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The purpose of the Mudra Scholarship Fund is to lower the cost so that trainees who don’t have access to financial resources can join us. A mudra is a position in which we place our bodies to cultivate a specific awareness. The spirit of the mudra of sobriety is "neither more nor less than necessary." This is what we ask you to contemplate, in consideration of your own true needs, and all others who need help too.

1. Find a quiet place where you can sit undisturbed for 5 or 10 minutes.

2. Sit with your legs crossed and spine straight, as best as you are able.

3. Rest your hands on your knees, palms down. Breathe for several minutes and let yourself settle, until you have a sense of quiet. Then consider:

Personal Ability to Pay. After completing the Mudra meditation, let us know how much you can afford to pay, in USD dollars. What brought you to that number? Is your income below average for the area you live in? Are your expenses higher? Do you provide for others? Any other challenges?

Geographic Challenges. What region or country do you live in? Is the region or country experiencing economic or other challenges? If so, what are they?

Future Impact. How will this program help improve your life and your ability to serve others?

Diversity and Inclusion. Do you identify as being from a community or background that has been systematically marginalized or excluded from holding power? Depending on where you live this exclusion could be based on race, ethnicity, the color of your skin, gender, sexual orientation, ability/disability, or other. Let us know.
