Hello Cortes Neighbours

When we set out on the adventure to bring Nocturna Domes to life, we knew we wanted to provide opportunities for those in the local community who feel called to experience a dark retreat. We will be offering scholarships to Cortes island residents as part of our commitment to the place we now call home.

Scholarship Application

We believe the depth of this work should be available to those who feel called, regardless of financial circumstances.

Each scholarship is an exchange between giver and receiver that honours the dignity of both. We trust that those who apply do so with sincere intent.

Eligibility

Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of financial need, and an intention to seek meaningful growth, change or healing. We offer the following tiers:

  • 100% Scholarship — for individuals or households earning under $50,000 annually

  • 75% Scholarship — for individuals or households earning between $50,000 and $75,000

  • 50% Scholarship — for individuals or households earning between $75,000 and $111,000

  • 25% Merit-Based Scholarship — for those contributing to the wellbeing of the Cortes Island community by volunteering or otherwise — tell us how you contribute.

Trades are always available — we have a big project ahead of us and welcome trades in many forms. This could include skilled labour, building support, gardening design and planting, fencing, materials or plants, social media support, or other offerings that support the retreat in meaningful ways. If you feel called to do an exchange, let us know what you’d like to offer.
