What is the location like in terms of access?
The farm (for Friday-Saturday in Alfambras) has a gravel parking lot, stone walkways, and some small steps to enter/exit buildings. It is not wheelchair-friendly.

Is there financial assistance available?
Payment plans are available for both events. The Friday Evening Talk is offered by a donation of any amount, and the Sunday Afternoon Workshop is free with the invitation to donate to the teacher. We welcome your presence and gratefully accept the resources that are within your capacity.

What does the registration fee support
Registration fees support Lama Rod, his team, and local collaborators for the extensive labor, seen and unseen, and spiritual devotion that allows his work to remain accessible and sustainable. These resources help cover production costs, such as spaces, materials, and nourishment for these events, in addition to Lama Rod's travel expenses.

As Lama Rod writes in The New Saints, he seeks to make the tradition of the Buddha relevant to our experiences in the present moment. This means inviting offerings and exchanges that honor the material needs of his energetic presence and livelihood — not in a conditional nor transactional way, but reflecting a tradition of reciprocity and universal balance similar to how you might leave food upon an altar for an ancestor. Giving and receiving are practices that embody the ethic of care that grounds Lama Rod’s work.

Therefore, your registration fees are one of the ways that Lama Rod is sustained so that he can continue his free and by-donation offerings such as Free Radicals, Sunday Service, and Blessed Slay. These offerings reflect our team’s commitment that no one be excluded from the teachings based upon their financial means. Lama Rod believes that we can be well resourced while practicing an anti-capitalist ethic and is deeply grateful to be in a reciprocal relationship with you.
