Dana
Teachers do not receive any payment for leading group retreats at Gaia House. The teachings of wisdom and compassion are considered priceless so teachers offer their understanding freely. Dana allows teachers to continue their work in making the teachings available.

Please click on ‘Teacher dana’ and then click ‘Add to basket’. On the checkout page, in the notes section, please specify the name of the teacher you wish to offer dana to, or generally to the Rainbow Sangha.
