Dear Friends,
Ever since we were forced to suspend in person meditation due to the Covid epidemic, attendance at the Center has never recovered. Practically unlimited opportunities for meditation to be practiced virtually over the internet are now available. We are of the opinion that group meditation is far superior to meditating with ones monitor. We are deeply in debt due to the drastic falloff in attendance and we are probably going to have to close the Center if support does not increase.
For twenty-seven years the Philadelphia Meditation Center has been offering a space to learn about and cultivate a mindful way of living. We now offer a hybrid session on Sunday and Wednesday evenings, as well as, an in person sitting on Saturday morning. Our extensive library is available for supporters. We have an active dharma book discussion group and three residential retreats a year.
Maintaining a physical Center requires considerable expense and we are dependent upon public support to meet those expenses. We need your help. The Center exists dependent upon its supporters--we will exist only so long as many people find us valuable and decide to contribute their time, energy and money to keep us viable.
If you have benefited from our programs personally or simply feel that what we offer is valuable in these most uncertain times, we ask that you consider becoming a supporting member of the Philadelphia Meditation Center. A standard supporting membership is $240 annually (only $20 per month). Sustaining Members pledge to contribute an annual amount of $480 per year, or $40 per month. Members have free access to our large lending library and receive discounts at our retreats. If you do not wish to be a supporting member, donations of any amount are deeply appreciated. PMC is an IRC501[c]3 non-profit public charity and your contributions are tax deductible. We thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
George Heckert, Director, The Philadelphia Meditation Center
