For over 2,600 years, the Buddha's teachings have been offered freely as dana—a practice of generosity. In keeping with this tradition, all of our offerings are made available without a fixed 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 ongoing operational costs.

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

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.
