Dana

While this is a completely free retreat and there is no expectation or pressure to offer dana to our teachers, I want to warmly invite us all to generously offer dana, as we have been so generously offered the dharma and care of our teachers in our practice.

I know personally that I had put aside the investment needed for an in-person sesshin, and as this has been cancelled am now able to pass on a portion of this regardless to Susan to show my gratitude for all she does for us.

If you have the means and feel moved to offer dana for this retreat, please do so here:
