THE TULE POND

The sessions for Bolad’s Kitchen will be successive, meaning that each year two sessions, of ten days each (20 days all together) will take place. For those interested in attending Bolad’s Kitchen as a school, attending all the sessions in sequence for the full four years is important, not only for the integrity of what is being taught, but also because each student will be doing research and independent activities in between the sessions, the completion of which will be necessary for the knowledge to continue on to the next session.

We have struggled long and hard over the pricing of the school, trying to keep the price reasonable enough so that all who truly want to attend will not be hindered by their economic situation. Knowing full well that to maintain the respect for the teaching that is being offered, we should be charging at least $5000 a year per student, and in keeping with this we are suggesting a price of $2500 a year for those who can afford it. As we are a "non-endowed" school, this second tuition rate may help insure that Bolad’s Kitchen can continue on because we would then have a fund to provide scholarships to certain dedicated students who otherwise would be unable to attend. We are trusting completely that those who have the means to pay $2500 or more, according to their desires, will show their ability to make it possible for the remainder of the students to attend at the lower tuition, in accordance to their means as well.

The cost for Bolad's Kitchen is $1700 for one year (two sessions) or $850 for each session if paid separately. For those who are able to pay a higher rate, tuition is $2500 for one year, or $1250 if sessions are paid separately. Tuition does not include food or lodging.

If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund, please see form below (you do not need to attend Bolad’s Kitchen to donate to the scholarship fund).

If you would like, as well, to give money to help make it possible for Bolad’s Kitchen to build Bolad’s Kitchen library, children’s learning palace, and a ritual farming area according to Martín’s dream, please contact us directly at bluetayra@newmexico.com or (505) 583-9103. The library would be an elegant circular 3-story tower, lined with all the ancient volumes, rare writings, and all the books used over the years in Bolad’s Kitchen teachings as well as Martín Prechtel manuscripts and transcripts of previous classes available to all students and some select scholars.
