Our economic model is not just about sustaining our retreat centre; it’s about fostering a community rooted in the values of compassion, generosity, and shared abundance.

By giving from the heart, we create a ripple effect that extends beyond the retreat itself, nurturing a culture of kindness and support that enriches both our individual lives and the broader community.

Teachings are Freely Given from the Heart

At Dharmagiri Sacred Mountain Retreat, we are committed to offering spiritual teachings rooted in generosity. Our experienced teachers provide their guidance and wisdom freely, from the heart, embodying the practice of Dana—the selfless sharing of knowledge without expectation of payment. While our teachings are freely given, the continuation of this practice relies on the generosity of our retreatants and supporters. We depend on free-will offerings to maintain our retreat centre, support our teachers, and keep our doors open to all who seek refuge and growth.

Inclusivity and Accessibility

Dharmagiri is an inclusive space that reflects South Africa's diversity. To ensure that financial constraints do not hinder participation, we offer partial scholarships upon application. This helps us uphold our commitment to making spiritual practice accessible to everyone.

We invite you to be part of this circle of generosity, whether by attending a retreat, offering a donation, or sharing your time and resources in other ways. Together, we can ensure that Dharmagiri remains a place where all people can find peace, healing, and inspiration.
