YOU are creating order and harmony. You are transmuting suffering into the perception of its true nature. You are literally changing and transforming the world with actually including meditation and spirituality in scientific inquiry and going beyond metaphysical speculation and reductionism. You are raising consciousness of this world. You are evolving and the consciousness of the entire world is evolving.Developmental psychology and spirituality and the rest of science go hand in hand. Thanks.

@Master0fMadness You have a point...however, people routinely spend far more money on things that will benefit them far less in the long term, like SUVs, snowmobiles, jetskies, flatscreen tvs, granite countertops, etc. etc.

Besides, many of the "very rich" do seem to need help...as evidenced by the incredible greed and selfshness that helped trigger the financial crisis in 2008.

Not to be skeptical or western minded, but $15 a day might drive some people away from your facility and make it more exclusive than you had imagined. Not only will it take a ton of money to travel to this location, but also it will take a roughly $1200 to pay for an 80 retreat, and on top of all, that is 80 days of a person not working putting their job at risk.

I believe the only people who can possibly afford this and you will see are the very rich, who are the last people who need help.
