“BUDDHIST GEEKS”

“Podcast in 2020 we continued to release new episodes of the freely offered buddhist geeks podcast,including 13 new episodes. In addition to the archived episodes, the buddhist geeks podcast,received a total of 439,060 listens in 2020, making a combined 1 million listens to the podcast over the course of 2019 & 2020. Retreats in response to the global pandemic of 2020/21 we shifted all of our in- person retreat activity online, with 2 retreats that were originally planned to be in-person, being held online. We had 50 participants in those retreats. Then we launched a new virtual retreat program called mindfulness retreats online. Our first two mindfulness retreats online hosted 12 different teachers and 200 participants. In addition, we implemented a special bipoc (black,indigenous, person of color) pricing model for the mindfulness retreats online, designed to increase access for bipoc participants. Trainings in 2020 we expanded our 10-week virtual training opportunities, with 6 different teachers running 9 unique training programsincluding our new social meditation facilitator trainingsand had 240 registered training participants, who donated a total of 64,718.50 to support these trainings over the course of the year. In 2020 we also began a new 2-year teacher training program cohort, working closely with 11 long-term students who are training to be dharma, meditation,& mindfulness teachers. Privates in 2019 we had 6 teachers (a doubling of our teaching team over last year) who did a total of 201 contact hours (more than twice the hours we did in 2019) with private meditation students, supporting them personally with the development of their contemplative practice. Our teachers operate on a transparent generosity basis, and received an average donation of 107 usd / hour in 2020. Network in 2020 we launched a new social network and live event space to our community, called the buddhist geeks network. Launched on the mighty networks platform, we invited all of our trained facilitators and teachers to offer freely offered events back to the community. This network was sustained by totally optional donations, receiving a total of 13,401 from network members in 2020. Partnering our primary partners this year included jack kornfield, tara brach, & sounds true as we worked to design the mindfulness retreats online program to support the intensive training of prospective teachers in their 2-year mindfulness meditation teacher certification program.”
