2023 Fundraising Goal
Updated November 25, 2023
Why Donate?
Your contribution to the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga benefits anyone looking for a spiritual or educational experience.
Yoga has become incredibly popular. But not-for-profit educational retreat centres and spiritual organizations here in Canada – dedicated to the fundamental principles of yoga – are becoming harder and harder to find.
With your help, we can ensure that people, like you, have a sacred place to return to year after year. Where they may come to learn…play…celebrate… Or just experience peace.
Help us ensure the special place that you experienced lives on for someone one else.
Through your donation, you are supporting:
…continued learning and sharing Babaji’s teachings
…health and wellness, through our programs
…care for, and stewardship of, this beautiful land
…an amazing venue and service for programs and rentals

Where Do Your Donations Go?
Meeting Basic Needs & Preserving Spaces
Sixty-nine acres comes with many recurring costs including property taxes, utility bills, and meeting staffing requirements to remain open and productive/operational. We also have beautiful facilities and grounds that need upkeep and upgrades on an continual basis. Preservation of our spaces is critical to our ongoing ability to steward this Land and all it offers.
Bringing the Centre back into a solid financial position
Like many nonprofits, the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga was negatively impacted by recent global pressures such as pandemic-related closures, inflation, and recruitment challenges – along with local stresses such as the Salt Spring housing crisis.
Restoring and rejuvenating key Centre Offerings
Help support the continued offering of long-standing and favourite Centre programs, such as: Yoga and Wellness Weekends; the Annual Community Yoga Retreat; Residential Yoga Service and Study; Yoga Teacher Training; and more.
We will work together to ensure the Centre continues to be a place where people can feel peace, have a spiritual home, and create possibilities we have not even thought of yet. May others also discover and realize the variety of offerings we have here!
Why become a monthly donor?
We are grateful for every single contribution. But the very best way you can help preserve the Centre is to become a Centre Sustainer, by making a small monthly contribution of absolutely any amount that works for you.
For us, your monthly donations strengthen our ability to budget with accuracy. They allow us to forecast for the future and ensure the predictable stewardship of funds.
For you, becoming a Centre sustainer is an opportunity to deepen your relationship with this sacred place. When you come back on your next visit you’ll see the value of your investment at work — how your contributions have helped other people on their spiritual journey as much as yours.
