Returning tapes Rentals of the most recent retreat must be returned in their entirety at the Santa Barbara retreat which follows your rental of the tapes. Return dates for earlier recordings from the SCDH library may be negotiable, based on rental date and availability. Return your rented tapes to the person who provided them to you (i.e., Lorraine, or Martha). If you need to, contact the distributor who supplied you with the tapes to negotiate an extension.

MP3 on CD

Basic rental fee---The basic rental fee for tapes from the archive is $20.00 with shipping.  Tapes may be obtained by mail or by arrangement for pick up.  You may choose to rent tapes of particular sessions or the whole retreat. Make payments to your distributor.

Teaching Fee—As a member of the group it is part of your commitment to rent and listen to missed retreats and to pay for the teaching.  For retreats missed before joining the group, the teaching fee is $50.00 per retreat.  For retreats missed after joining the group, the required $300.00 registration fee entitles you to receive tapes for that retreat, and covers the tape fee as well. Make teaching fee checks out to “The Center for the Sacred Human.” Please keep a record of your payments.

Regarding tape deliveries: Our aim is to get tapes to you within one week of your order.  Contact your tape distributor, with any requests or concerns.
