GENEROSITY

​Support SunDo's mission of spreading brightness for a healthier happier society.  Your donation goes toward the development of a healing retreat center in Vermont, USA and outreach for other SunDo Centers around the world. Practicing SunDo postures, breathwork and meditation has helped thousands of people achieve a better way of life. 

​Please donate to our CURRENT 2021 fundraising goal of $32,000. For over 22 years, the SunDo Retreat Center has been a place that revitalizes and heals the spirit. Help us do more in the coming year with a new kitchen and dining hall for retreats in Vermont. With our smaller fundraisers plus larger matching donations, we believe this is possible!
​

Donations can now be made through the SunDo PayPal Giving Fund!
As a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit, SunDo International no longer incurs any processing fees on donations. So every last cent of your gift goes directly to development of the Retreat Center to create a place for SunDo healing and  education.

2021 Fundraising
Progress and purpose


Goodbye 2020
As we look back at the past year, we realize how important the SunDo Retreat Center is to our practice community. SunDo International is proud to offer a place for all people seeking a healthier, happier life. We are a community that is fully dedicated to completing the new kitchen dining hall building at the Retreat Center in 2021.

This facility is projected to greatly increase membership, restoring our revenue engine and generating the funds needed to support future SunDo retreats and holistic health programs.

Despite COVID-19, construction at the new building is moving along smoothly. Our crew continues to make progress, and most recently, accomplished these five major milestones:
​
  • Assembled a beautiful oak floor in the dining room,
  • Finished walls and ceiling with sheetrock on the first floor,
  • Installed one woodburning stove in the dining room,
  • Established a fully functional kitchen for meal preparation,
  • Fully completed one of the first floor bathrooms.

It is the community that will build this Retreat Center and it is the community that will benefit from the utility and longevity of our new kitchen and dining hall building.
