If you've ever felt like you don't quite fit into mainstream culture. If you've ever wondered what it would look like to build something real with people who actually get it. If you've sensed that a different way of living is possible—then you understand what we're building at Dharma House.
But here's the thing: what started as a vision in my backyard has become something too big for one person (or even one company) to sustain.
The Real Cost of Creating Space
When we started Dharma House, I financed everything myself. I paid for the events. I paid for the facilitators. I paid for the infrastructure. I showed up and did the work—yoga classes, meditations, workshops, project management—all of it.
I did that because I believed in the vision more than I believed in my bank account.
And honestly? It was unsustainable.
What we've built is real. Over 300 people showing up to community gatherings. Sound healing ceremonies. Meditation workshops. Free coaching sessions. Marketplace vendors. Affinity groups. Retreats being planned. A music festival. World-class facilitators coming in for our Winter Workshop Series. And we're rethinking education itself for families within the Dharma ecosystem.
But none of this happens without resources.
Here's What Your Contribution Actually Does
This isn't about paying for my time. This is about sustaining the magic.
When you become a Dharma House patron, you're directly funding:
The Winter Workshop Series. We're bringing in world-class facilitators—people who've spent decades mastering their craft. These aren't local community events. These are transformational experiences that would normally cost thousands to access. Your support makes them possible.
The Artists and Healers. Musicians, yogis, meditation teachers, breath workers, sound healers—people who've given years to their craft. Right now, we ask paid performers to come and share for free. We're changing that. Your contribution helps us actually pay them what they deserve.
The Infrastructure and Leadership. The space doesn't maintain itself. The vision doesn't execute itself. We need coordinators, facilitators, and leaders who understand what we're building and can scale it. That takes investment.
Rethinking Education for Families. This is something we're pioneering right now—bringing the Dharma principles into how families learn, grow, and connect together. This is the future, but it requires resources to build.
The Experience for Everyone. We've intentionally kept Dharma free or donation-based because we don't want finances to be a barrier to entry. Someone going through a life transition shouldn't have to choose between rent and attending a workshop that changes their life. Your contribution makes that possible for someone who needs it.

The Money Story They Don't Tell You
I'm an entrepreneur in real estate. I know plenty of people in that world—house flippers and business owners—who find themselves facing massive tax bills. Six figures. Half a million dollars. Some even more.
Most people just pay it to the federal government.
But what if that money went somewhere that actually aligned with your values? What if instead of funding a system, you funded a movement?
That's what we're creating: a model where people who are making excess money can direct it toward something real, something purposeful, something that creates actual change in how we live together.
We're working toward our 501c3 status. When we get there, your contribution becomes tax-deductible—dollar-for-dollar. That means you're not giving to the government—you're giving to artists, to facilitators, to the infrastructure of transformation.
What We're Really Asking
We're asking you to invest in a different way of being.
We're asking you to believe that people can be authentically themselves and thrive. That business success and spiritual purpose aren't in conflict. That community matters. That artists deserve to be paid. That transformation shouldn't be a luxury good.
We're asking you to be part of the "we" instead of standing outside watching.
Right now, we're at a tipping point. We have leaders committed at the same level (or greater) than I am. We have the Winter Workshop Series launching. We have world-class facilitators coming through. We have the infrastructure to scale. What we're building is working—it's just ready to grow.
But we can't do it alone.
