New location for Dhammadharini Monastics (Bhikkhunis)
Dhammadharini Support Foundation has purchased a property to be repurposed for a Buddhist monastic residence for women and a sanctuary for meditation and Dhamma study for friends from the broader community. There are lots of opportunities to help with this transition.
Spend a few hours, a day, or a weekend with the Dhammadharini monastic community helping with necessary preparation for the move in and grand opening. Offer a meal or a ride. Come on your own or with your meditation group or friends and family.
Most immediate ways to help
- Preparation for painting.
- Painting and plastering interiors with natural clay products and no VOC paints.
- Minor electrical and plumbing repairs
- Minor carpentry work
- Gardening and yard work (the residence is situated on one and a third acres)
