I actually do not need much. As this retreat is not at a 'centre' there is not a lot of overhead. I am 'offering' $200CDN per month for the shared expenses. The main costs are building the shelter to stay in and food. My partner and I have from our savings paid for the shelter costs. Food I expect will be ??CDN per month approximately. | |||
