Retreat rates

pink-flowersWe endeavour to keep our rates as low as possible and are committed to ensuring that our Dharma programme is available to everyone who wishes to participate, irrespective of financial circumstances.

Please consider paying at the highest rate that you are able to. Your generosity is vital in supporting Gaia House to sustain its Dharma offerings for the benefit of all. If our rates are too high for you, you are warmly invited to apply for support from our Financial Assistance and Bursaries Fund.

None of your registration fee goes to the teacher(s). Gaia House teachers rely on the generosity of students for their livelihood. There will be an opportunity at the end of your retreat to make a dana offering to your teacher(s) and to our residential service team who care for our retreatants and retreat space.

About Dana:

In the Buddhist tradition of dana or generosity, the teachings at Gaia House are offered freely and many people offer their time and skills as unpaid volunteers to help with the running of our retreats and courses.

The opportunity to offer dana is an invitation to participate in the spirit of generosity that has sustained the tradition and teachings for around 2,500 years.
