Adopt a Project and Online Donations
We need financial support for further archiving, preservation and the production of new products. With our new 'Adopt a Project' donors can choose to sponsor – in whole or in part – a specific project. Project co-ordinators will report back to the donors every three months on progress. The following list outlines our 2009/2010 priority projects and projected costs. The amounts are in AU$ (AU$100 = approx US$81/ €58/ £50, based on exchange rates per 29 June 09).
Project 1: In-House DVD Duplication
Project co-ordinator: Madeleine Duran
During Video Events participants often request particular sessions on DVD. We plan to purchase a professional duplication machine and gradually build a DVD library of all the Video Event sessions. As the library grows these sessions will be offered for sale at more and more of the Events. Eventually we will be able to offer extensive online ordering.
-
1A: AU$ 500 Part fund the project
-
1B: AU$ 10,000: Fund the entire project including purchase of the machine, materials and the first 100 hours production time.
Project 2: Master Session 2001
Project co-ordinator: Erika Rohde
In the Master Session 2001 Barry Long explores the five aspects of reality: love, life, death, truth and God – the five most important and profound aspects of human experience. He explains how to recognise true enlightenment in others and in your own body. He shows how the life you are living is the way to the enlightened state and the freer the body is of any decision maker, the better able it is to live that life. Throughout the seminar he reveals the mysteries of enlightenment.
Our aim is to realise this wonderful seminar in its entirety online as video downloads (MP4s).
-
2A: AU$ 300: Fund the production of one MP4 download from the Master Session 2001
-
2B: AU$ 3,600: Fund the production of 14 MP4 downloads from the Master Session 2001 to be titled ‘Mysteries of Enlightenment’
-
2C: AU$ 7,200: Fund the production of all 24 MP4 downloads from the Master Session 2001
Project 3: Barry Long Love website
Project co-ordinator: Neal Bowhay
Barry’s teaching on love is unique. We regard it of primary importance to collate material, new and old, in order to express Barry’s enormous contribution on this profoundly relevant subject – and make it available on a dedicated website which anyone can find or refer to. It will also serve as a dedicated download site for audio and video material focussing on love, sex and relationships.
The budget will cover a web designer, research, collation and editing of material as well as production of downloads. This project will grow over time, but we are looking for the sum of AU$25,000 to cover the initial phase, with an estimated period of 6 months from funding to initial launch.
-
3A: AU$ 1,500 Part fund the collation and preparation of articles/excerpts/transcripts from new and existing material on Love
-
3B: AU$ 2,000 Part fund the production of MP3s and MP4s from new and existing material on Love
-
3C: AU$ 25,000 Fund the entire development of the Barry Long Love website
Project 4: Meditation DVD/Video download (MP4)
Project co-ordinator: Madeleine Duran
The Master Session 2002 was Barry Long’s last public meeting before his death. In one of the sessions he delivers a powerful summary of his life’s work on meditation. In a step by step process you are given the four stages of Barry Long’s complete system of meditation.
-
4A: AU$ 300 Fund the production of the session for MP4 download
-
4B: AU$ 4,500 Fund the production of the meditation DVD. The production costs include editing, duplication, DVD cases, cover design and marketing
Project 5: Preservation of early audio recordings
Project co-ordinator: Bram Duran
Our master tapes are kept in a temperature and humidity controlled archive room. We have a treasure trove of older material that is an invaluable resource for future publication. The early audio recordings include material from UK seminars starting in 1968 and covering literally thousands of hours until 1991. We have recently started the process of cataloguing these tapes.
In order to preserve this we urgently need to digitise this material. This will ensure that it is available for audio downloads (MP3) or CD production. The budget for this project includes hardware, software, set-up costs and wages.
-
5A: AU$ 100 Fund the preservation of one audio recording
-
5B: AU$ 600 Fund the preservation of the earliest recordings 1968-1981
-
5C: AU$ 4,000 Fund preservation of a whole seminar
-
5D: AU$ 7,000 Fund preservation of a whole year of audio recordings between 1977 – 1991
-
5E: AU$ 130,000 Fund the preservation of all audio recordings from 1968 - 1994

Estate Planning
Adding The Barry Long Foundation International (BLFI) to your will is a wonderful way to provide critically needed funds to ensure the legacy of Barry Long continues to be available for generations to come. If you are interested in naming the BLFI as a beneficiary in your will please check the legal advice in your country to ensure the gift is effective. A suggested clause as a starting point could be, "I give the sum of $[xxx] free of all costs and duties to The Barry Long Foundation International for the purposes of The Foundation and I declare that the receipt of the secretary of The Foundation shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors or trustees and shall absolve them from seeing as to the application thereof." If you have a question, please contact us at
