This event is free and open to the public, but we are trying to raise money to support our donation-based meditation center. Our goal is to raise $8,000 to help us continue to offer donation-based classes to the public.  We are asking each participating meditator to help support our mission of promoting peace through meditation. Help us make our first annual Sit-A-Thon as effective as possible by finding sponsors to donate for your meditation seesions.  The more sponsors you find, the more successful we’ll be at achieving our goal. Thank you very much for your participation!


***Note: There will be no actual 'ticket' issued. This registration is for administrative purposes only so that we may know the expected number of attendees and contact you with any updates concerning the event.  Your information is completely secure and will not be shared with any other parties.  If you have any issues or questions please contact peace@redlotussociety.org***
