CCRA Inaugural Cabin Building Fund - Dollar-Matching Campaign

$100,000
Goal
Double the value of every dollar you give!
Due to the incredibly generous actions of a single donor we have been pledged US$100,000 to match every dollar we raise up to that amount. We have therefore launched this standalone fundraising sprint campaign to match those funds from our generous supporters and community to secure and exceed the matching total of US$200,000. These funds will be singularly dedicated to building our very first two retreat cabins on the CCRA's Jhampa Ling hermitage in Matiri Valley on the South Island of New Zealand/Aotearoa.
The Centre for Contemplative Research Aotearoa (CCRA) is part of a global network of groundbreaking research observatories that provide the ideal environments for dedicated contemplatives to explore the nature and potentials of consciousness firsthand, while fully engaging with scientists to develop rigorous measures for novel research into the nature of the mind.
Located on recently acquired property on the South Island of New Zealand, The Centre for Contemplative Research Aotearoa is CCR’s Asian Pacific affiliate where dedicated contemplatives will engage in long-term meditation retreats and collaborate in rigorous research with leading scientists and philosophers from a variety of fields, including physics, neuroscience, psychology, and phenomenology.
Thank you for supporting our efforts to Fathom the Mind. Heal the World!

Thank you Glen for all your precious teachings and wisdom with explaining the path. Thank you for bringing to light, all the most difficult points within The Vajra Essence. Your teachings and explanations are a shining lamp for many of us slow pokes who, without you, may otherwise have gotten lost somewhere along the way.

Almost finished the PHASE4 Vajra Essence Retreat as an online participant. So grateful to have received so much incredible teaching. Hoping one day to be in one of the cabins and for many others also to have the opportunity.
