Fund Raising
Rigpa Newcastle raises funds
for a variety of projects including a scholarship fund to
support people to attend the annual Myall Lakes retreat with
Sogyal Rinpoche.
Rigpa Newcastle always invites
donations for Retreat Scholarships. Depending on the generosity
of the sangha and the need in the sangha, full or part-payment
of Retreat fees is offered to those who might otherwise miss
out on attending the Retreat.
If you would like to make a
donation OR need some assistance to attend retreat, please
contact Steve Patfield at stevendeb@exemail.com.au.
