Help:General Information Page

This space is for alumni of the Tsadra Foundation advanced contemplative scholarships only and is not a public website or forum accessible to anyone else. We hope that this will be an encouraging and inspiring space for all of us to connect. You will access the site with a password and any information you wish to share will be for our community only.

If you have reached this page, you were provided a login and password via email, which you can keep, or can later change using the “change password” function available in the user settings.

As this alumni space is reserved for you and is not open to the general public, you will need to create your personal login in order to visit the site, and in order to edit the information on your own page. Your information is secure there and we will gladly remove anything you do not wish to share. We are also happy to receive any feedback you may have about the site or answer any questions you may have. You will find a feedback link on any page of the site.

The home page provides access to our alumni list and list of retreat centers with an individual “card” for each person and retreat center. By clicking on any single “card” you are taken to the full page of that individual or center. The information on your retreat centers has been drawn primarily from the centers’ own websites. If you have other information or photos you are welcome to forward those to us.

You will find that some of you have provided more information than others, so we welcome you to add or update your information. Once on your page, you can click on the edit button–the blue “edit your page” button in the upper right–which allows you to add, edit, or remove your information. We now collect portrait photos with our scholarship applications and have integrated these into the individual profiles, but if we do not have one of you, please do upload a portrait photo to your page. You may also change your profile image if you would like to do so.

Once you have completed any changes you wish to make, you need to save your changes with the button on the bottom of the page. You can return at any time to update your information. If you want to see an example of a full profile, take a look at Jeremi Plazas’s page–one of our contemplative alumni who is now working for Tsadra Foundation, and the main web developer for this site.

It is my hope that you will find this contemplative alumni space inspiring, and that it will contribute to the development of a feeling of “community” among you. As we move forward, I will be interested to see what this might lead to, including other possibilities for sharing your experiences and exploring topics of common interest.
