Register for Natural Dharma Fellowship's 2025 Margha Program
October 15, 2024 - December 31, 2025
Early-bird registration for the 2025 Margha Program will take place from October 15 through 22, 2024.
The focus of the 2025 Margha Program, which will run from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2025, is the practice of Natural Meditation. Participants will be guided and supported through a series of contemplative practices which naturally draw participants into an experiential journey to discover and deepen their relationship with the nature of mind.
(The alternate year’s program focuses on practices of Bodhicitta, in which participants learn a series of contemplative practices to deepen in love, self-compassion, compassion for others, wisdom, sympathetic joy and equanimity.)

WHAT DOES IT COST?
It is Natural Dharma Fellowship’s aspiration that no one be turned away from our programs and retreats because they are unable to pay the full cost. The Margha Program is offered with a three-tier sliding fee scale so you may choose the amount that best fits your budget: Monthly payment plans are available if you wish to budget the fee over the year.
- May All Beings Benefit: $40/month ($480/year*) – For those who can afford it, this fee level helps provide support for those with limited financial resources and assists with the care and development of the Margha Program.
- A Middle Way: $25/month ($300/year*) – This fee covers the basic cost of the Margha Program.
- Held in Sangha Loving-Kindness: $15/month ($180/year*) For those with limited financial resources or recent financial hardship.
*If you choose to pay annually instead of monthly
If the lowest payment level does not fit your financial situation, please do not hesitate to request financial aid. Options will be available on the registration page. This is a simple process and does not require extensive information.
The program entrance fee does NOT include the cost of on-site retreats at Wonderwell Mountain Refuge in Springfield, NH or the online component of these hybrid retreats. The cost of required books, generally two per year, is also additional.
RECORDINGS & RESOURCES
NDF offers unlimited access to recordings and resources, which are accessed in your user dashboard (more information about user accounts provided in a pre-retreat letter). If you have a user account, please register with the same email you use to log into your dashboard. If not, an account will be created for you using your registration address.
Availability will vary depending on the type of event and the backlog for our precious resource volunteers. Thank you for your patience.
