A heartfelt thank you to our new Sustaining Supporters, and to those who increased their gifts during this year’s Sustaining Supporter Campaign! Thanks to you, we surpassed every goal we set, allowing KCC to invest in the people, technology, and spaces that carry this Dharma community forward.

Will you become a Sustaining Supporter? Recurring monthly gifts provide the stable foundation we need to pay our staff fairly and ensure KCC thrives for the next 50 years.
Week 4/6 of the Sustaining Supporter Drive!

KCC is committed to freely offering the Dharma to all. To make this possible, we practice a model of mutual support: we invite those with greater financial capacity to give a higher percentage of their income, balancing the contributions of those who can give less.
Celebrating 25 Years of SCOL
August 10, 2026
Over the years, SCOL has hosted a one‑year retreat, a three‑year retreat, and many shorter retreats and gatherings. Each year we offer guided retreats, opportunities for personal practice, and themed weekends and workshops. All the while, SCOL remains dedicated to nurturing and revitalizing the land so it may support the flora, fauna, and all who visit.
Week 3/6 of the Sustaining Supporter Drive!
August 9, 2026
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing stories from Sangha members-personal moments that reveal what KCC has offered them, and how those experiences inspire their ongoing support of our shared dharma center. A financially stable KCC is a valuable gift that the Sangha of today can preserve for the practitioners of tomorrow.
