Why donate to Tara's meadow?
Tara’s Meadow is just one small special place on this planet on a remote and beautiful Island, but we have huge impacts on people’s hearts and spirits! We support individuals and communities living to their fullest in Earth Peace - the harmony of our species with all others on this planet. We accomplish this by offering quality classes, educational programs and spiritual retreats that emphasize leadership, environmental citizenship, mentorship, and cultural diversity.
Your contribution now will help Tara’s Meadow Education and Retreat Center widen our circle of community, increase the number of folks we can reach, and offer new events both on Beaver Island & the mainland. Check our events page for exciting upcoming events! http://www.tarasmeadow.com/events.html
immediate financial needs
Our most immediate needs are to provide both the necessary facilities and land base that will enable requesting educational institutions, community organizations and cultural groups the basic accommodations necessary to allow comfortable participation of their students and members. See the Site Plan below for a visual of Tara's Meadow current and proposed facilities.
Land Purchase Campaign: Tara's Meadow needs to plant its additional sleeping quarters and permanent infrastructure on a land base that is collaboratively owned and managed by the full 501.c3 Tara's Meadow Education and Retreat Center nonprofit organization. We cannot install any further permanent infrastructure on land that is privately owned and only rented by us, as is the current situation:

~ Multipurpose Portable Yurt, 20 foot diameter, for classroom space = $9,998
