Scholarships

Sky Mind Retreats

Sky Mind Retreats is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization which offers Buddhist Meditation retreats – often in the natural world. It strives to make these retreats affordable for all. Scholarships are offered through this organization for retreats it sponsors.

If the cost of a retreat is prohibitive for you, please write a short email describing your situation and how much assistance you need. Please address your letter to the registrar for that retreat. If you have paid a deposit to reserve a retreat space, we cannot meet your request, and you are not able to come, we will return your deposit.

We do ask that everyone pay at least part of the cost. We are a small organization and do not have a lot to spread around, but we will work with you to try to make a retreat possible. We want you to come!

If you would like to make a donation to the Scholarship fund at Sky Mind Retreats, this would be gratefully accepted as it helps make the retreats available to all. All donations are fully tax deductible.

If you have any questions, please email Susie Harrington.

Nature Practice Fellowship

Many of the retreats listed here are eligible for the Nature Practice Fellowship. This direct sponsorship is offered by Off-Grid Retreats to people who want to unplug from daily life and retreat into nature—to grow, heal, and find deeper meaning. If you feel called to go on retreat but find it hard to justify the expense or lost income, consider applying!

The 2025 Fellowship application deadline is April 15, 2025 for retreats from Summer 2025 - Spring 2026. Final selection of applicants will be made by April 31. More information and application at https://offgridretreats.org/fellowship.
