Regulars

This summer, after the Dhanakosa open day, we're running a working retreat.

This will be an opporunity for people to come to Dhanakosa for 5 nights (from Sunday afternoon to Friday morning) and work alongside the Dhanakosa community.

There will be a mix of jobs available - some more domestic, others more maintance based, as well as painting and outdoor work in the grounds.

Although there is no booking fee for this retreat, please call us to book a place - we would love to hear what kind of skills you have to offer!

We ask retreatants to arrive between 4 and 6.30pm on the Monday evening, with dinner at 7pm.

The retreat will finish on the Friday morning at 11am.

Paying for your retreat

Dhanakosa runs on donations

Dhanakosa does not charge for retreats.  Instead, we ask people to make a donation towards the ongoing cost of running the centre, for everyone.  This recognises that everyone’s financial circumstances are different.  It’s a genuine donation but our suggested donations may serve as a guide.  You are free to decide how much to give.  And we don’t want our doors to be closed to the less well off.

The donations we collect from you on your retreat pay for future retreats.  You are “paying it forward”.  And the retreatants of the future will heartily appreciate your generosity.
