Many Ways to Belong, Many Ways to Give:
Volunteer Donate

“Generosity is a celebration. When we give something to someone we feel connected to them, and our commitment to the path of peace and awareness deepens.”

–Sharon Salzberg

“I continue to be a member of NYI, because I know that dana from all of our sits and sanghas, and the fees from all of our guest teacher programs and resident teachers series cannot meet the challenge of our increasing rent and other fixed costs. We depend on volunteers and we depend on our collective generosity. Join me and add your voice and support to what is important to us as a community!”

–Sebene Selassie

This is what belonging looks like.
