Dana is a Pali and Sanskrit word that encompasses “the joy of offering” and “cultivating generosity”.
During this retreat, while the lodging, meals, ski passes, and rental costs are covered by the registration fee, the monastics rely entirely on your generosity for their teachings and livelihood. Your “dana” will sustain the lives of the ~160 monastics in Plum Village, France and ensure that this art of mindful living can continue into the future.If you would like to make an offering, you may do so by adding it to the registration payment online or as cash during the retreat
