For over 2,600 years, the Buddha's teachings have been offered freely as dāna—the practice of generosity. In keeping with this tradition, all of our offerings are made available without a fee. We have no paid staff; everyone involved in our collective gives their time and skills freely.

To continue this work, we rely on the support of the wider community. Your donations help us to rent retreat venues, feed retreatants, host our website, offer courses and workshops, and cover other ongoing operational costs.

Donations of any size are deeply appreciated. Every contribution makes a meaningful impact.

Other Ways to Support

If you'd like to offer your time or skills to the collective, we would love to hear from you.
Please email us.

We will be actively fundraising leading up to our 2027 six-week retreat, including offering online and day-long retreats, Q&As with wonderful teachers like Joseph Goldstein, and in person events with delicious food and music. One of the most helpful ways to support is to participate in our events and share them with your communities.

Retreat Space

We are currently seeking a space suitable for hosting annual long retreats.
If you have a location you'd like to offer or discuss, please contact us via email.

The Dana Home Exchange

We are looking for homes or properties that are not occupied year-round to be used for self-retreats by experienced meditators known to our collective. Dwellings of any size may be suitable.

If you are open to offering a house or piece of land for this purpose, please reach out via email.
