Your offerings support both the flourishing of your own practice and that of others. While there are important financial realities in running an organization and operating retreats, we also recognize that a purely transactional model may not support the heart qualities most conducive to dharma practice.

Dana, the Pali word for generosity, is a central teaching of the Buddha. Generosity itself is considered a core spiritual faculty to develop, and we enjoy operating on this principle.

We are able to operate with this approach because we run simply, rely largely on volunteers, and rely on donations from the wider community. This creates a wide circle of generosity that builds community and supports everyone to be able to practice in a wholesome relational field.

Rather than hired staff for retreat, practitioners share in the work of setup, takedown, cooking, retreat managing, and daily operations.
