That Dhanakosa run their retreats on a dana basis really inspires me. It is such a radical and bold  approach to take - an act of faith and trust in human nature and peoples' desire to be generous. The community at Dhanakosa work with such dedication and vision to go on making Dhanakosa an alive, vibrant place where anyone can come and learn to meditate and hear the teachings of the dharma. It is such a fantasitc resourse to have this beautiful place to come to for a retreat - imagine how much poorer we would all be without Dhanakosa!

Dhanakosa is very much our spiritual home.  We were able to bring our whole family to this special home, to practice in an inspiring setting, free from the everyday distractions and stresses of life. We very much appreciate the memories it has given us – mindfully engaged in skimming stones on the loch was a definite favourite!
The children thoroughly enjoyed the Family Retreat and the whole experience of the spiritual commune at Dhanakosa - they both want to come back next year.
Isabel (age 9) said, “the time spent on the retreat made me realise how special my family is”.
Tam (age 5) thought, “ it was a great place to meet new friends,” -  and he certainly did that!

I believe Dhanakosa is worth supporting. It upholds the values of honesty, sharing, considerate decency, kindness, mindfulness, appreciation of the good, the true, the beautiful. It does so, not by getting folk to argue about values, but by simply putting them into practice. Try them out for a week, experience the effects first-hand.
