DANA
VISION
Dana, Sanskrit for generosity) means accepting that we belong to all
and that we
willingly
support all that
what we belong to.
​
With no hope - enthusiastically without hope -of reward or guarantee of outcome.
​​​​
In Arabic by the way, dana means the most perfectly seized, valuable and beautiful pearl.
The potency of giving.
​We are offering teaching and organisation on donation basis. We give what we love and what we love to share because we know how deeply
​relevant this
work is
​
​
​​
​
​
to breathe
freely, relate
openly, build trust, care and a collective imagination towards a future that we meet together.​
This work is a survival strategy and tool that needs to be accessible. ​
TALKS
If you would like to join this event, you will purchase a ticket that covers costs but not teachings and organisation.
​
​
​
​
At the end
of the event we will have a Dana talk which is an open conversation about the price we imagine, desire, afford or not and the implications this has on our lives.
​Afterwards you choose a donation you would like to give for the teaching and organisation.
TRANSPARENCY
We feel that knowing a cost break down belongs to the conversation we are engaging with when we speak of dana and donation.

​
COMMUNITY SERVICE
More than a financial implication, this also means that everyone helps out. Not an event distraction but an integration as we collaborate, get to know each other in functional and mundane ways, getting to know how such a participation can bring joy, support and learning. This giving encompasses a generosity where we can experiment with an economic model based on voluntary giving rather than fees for services. It's a system that reminds us that each one of us is intrinsically valuable to the whole, supported by the whole, and responsible for the welfare of the whole. And that we have time, to craft this gift.
