Sacred Reciprocity
Collective care requires collective responsibility.
Whether you have received refuge, teachings, and care from Sangha House or simply feel called to support this work, we invite you into sacred reciprocity. Every offering sustains our mission. If you are resourced to give more, your generosity widens the path for others.
Your dana sustains our annual retreats like Emancipating Hearts & Minds, Present Abiding, and Cultivating Seeds of Stillness. It provides nourishing meals, supports the sharing of Dharma, and holds refuge for all who seek it. Through generosity, we keep this sanctuary alive and move toward our vision of a permanent home in the 7th Ward.

Your dana provides food, shelter, and study materials, freeing them to remain rooted in practice and available to serve. In this way, your generosity sustains refuge in the 7th Ward and carries the Dharma into our communities for the benefit of all beings.

Your giving, whether in the form of money, time, energy, or other resources, strengthens the collective well-being of our community and ensures that our mission endures.
