The UK Community & ‘Kunselling’ is a non-profit making organization registered as a Charity. The life of the Community and Kunselling are vital and unique resources for the survival of the teachings and the development of our practice. Apart from specific fund raising activities, we rely on membership fees and generous donations for all of our running costs and overheads.

Those people who feel that they want to make a more concrete commitment and contribution to the community can apply for membership. When you become a member of the U.K. community part of your subscription goes towards supporting Merigar in Italy, which is our nearest ‘Gar’. In this way the monies raised support all the activities of the community, both in the U.K. and worldwide. Members also receive free newsletters and copies of the Mirror as well as get discounts on the cost of teaching and practice retreats. In order to participate in many Community activities, including the use of Kunselling as a retreat facility, membership is required.
