Contribution: Koha / Daan
Koha/Daan is a voluntary donation or contribution that is more than a simple gift. It signifies a gesture of respect, connection and appreciation. It is also the opportunity to give back to our community by offering space for others in the future to receive this type of nourishment through practices.
The value of the koha is determined by the giver, based on their capacity and their situation. When choosing the amount that is right for you, consider:
A koha of $20 can give you a place on the retreat.
A koha of $108 covers all costs for 1 person for the two days
A koha of $216 covers all costs for yourself and gifts a space on the retreat for another
Choose what is right for you, in your situation as it is now.

“Yoga is not an ornament of life.
It is a simplification of living.
Progress in yoga is not a loud event.
It is seen quietly
when reactions lessen,
when patience deepens,
when awareness remains steady.”
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
