We seek young people who feel despair at what they see around them. We seek those with wisdom and vision. And more than ever before, we seek to galvanize each other to act as children of Mother Earth and take action to protect her and all her inhabitants, without exception. How do we strengthen our resolve?

Scholarships will be given out with a preference toward diversity and first-time participants. We can usually provide more information about scholarships in August, as by that time, we know how many people have signed up for the retreat, and how much funding we have available for prospective participants in need of financial assistance. There also is the possibility to raise your retreat fee by Mala practice.

Profits from our Bearing Witness Retreats are used to cover the costs of other retreats with loss, split with other participating organizations, or towards future and ongoing projects of the Zen Peacemakers. Zen Peacemakers encourages everyone to fundraise their participation by reaching out to close ones and friends and by that to include others in what otherwise may be a very personal journey. You will also raise awareness for whatever causes or issues attending this retreat will address for you.

Shakyamuni Buddha led his monks each morning in the practice of begging for their daily food. In this way the Buddha encouraged simplicity, the generosity of both giving and receiving, and undiscriminating appreciation. We continue this begging practice by raising support for our work by assembling a mala, or beads that are strung together and worn like a necklace. This is a practice of giving and receiving. By asking for support from family, friends, and associates, we acknowledge that as individuals, we are limited in what we can do. We depend on the generosity of others to increase our membership, train more peacemakers, and develop and support more programs.

This is one more way in which we bear witness in the interdependence of life. Another important aspect of mala practice is the incorporation of the ministry of money in our program. The assembly of malas ensures that money management and fundraising are not seen as foreign to peacemaking work; instead, the give-and-take of money is the compassionate, unobstructed flow of energy that nourishes and transforms our activities.
