Financing
The Zen Lab is not profit-orientated - but we still have to bear running costs. The main cost item is the room rent, other expenses are incurred to maintain and further develop the location. These expenses are currently largely covered by monthly membership fees. Another essential pillar for us is recurring and one-off donations.
Most of the work on the project is done on a voluntary basis - around 20 people currently help out in the Zen Lab with larger and smaller organisational tasks. In addition, there are many great people who are always happy to come to us for meditation, yoga or seminars, for which we are very grateful.

These expenses are currently largely covered by monthly membership fees, which cover around 60% of costs. We are able to cover around 30% of expenses through contributions for daily meditation, seminars, events and rentals. The remaining 10% is covered by one-off donations.
