Geshe Michael says all His teachings are free- why do I have to pay for this?
The teachings themselves are free, but Friendly Pines camp charges for room and board; we must also cover the costs of running the retreat, such as the cost of staff and readings, etc.
What if I can't afford the retreat, but really want to come?
If you simply can't afford it and for whatever reason don't qualify or feel capable of doing work-study, e-mail [email protected] and they will see if they can work something out

I don't have a credit card or don't like paypal, can I pay via cash or check?
We have a very small volunteer staff and it is very difficult for us to keep track of non-paypal payments. We hope you will understand
Can I sign up now and pay later?
Because there is a small group of volunteers organizing the retreat, we have to keep accounting work to a minimum. Therefore we are unable to process registrations without payment.
I'm not sure if I can make it but I want to reserve a spot- can I pay now and get a refund later if I can't make it?
No, sorry. We can only issue refunds in case of serious illness or the loss of a loved one. However payments may be applied to a future retreat or to sponsor a scholarship or friend. Please contact the ACI Phoenix Board Acting Treasurer at [email protected] or the ACI Phoenix Board Retreat Director at [email protected] with any refund related questions
